@AEIfdp @CTCWP @KatieZimmerman @AU_ACSRT @natkpowell @MOSECON_Yan argues that operationally speaking, there is no short-term threat from Africa for attacks in the West.
@AEIfdp @CTCWP @KatieZimmerman @AU_ACSRT @natkpowell @MOSECON_Yan @MOSECON_Yan highlights Europe's threat perception differing from the US. The Sahel has become Europe's southern border. The economic piece is also important--African markets will be crucial for the EU
@AEIfdp @CTCWP @KatieZimmerman @AU_ACSRT @natkpowell @MOSECON_Yan @MOSECON_Yan
Jihadist groups aren't threatening Europe directly, but they have created an incidental threat for the aforementioned reasons- jihadist groups have contributed to an environment that is perceived as a threat by European policymakers.
