Sahel: The USA aims to counter Russian influence and jihadist expansion through a law

The United States aims to strengthen its response to terrorism in the Sahel, particularly in Mali, with a new bill introduced by representatives Jimmy Panetta and Joe Wilson. This initiative seeks to establish a diplomatic strategy against Al-Qaïda and assess jihadist networks, including their financial resources. The cooperation between Washington and Sahel countries, such as Mali and Niger, dates back to 1960, and this new law continues that relationship.
