| description | Over the past few years, there has been a notable rise in French military
involvement in Africa. Despite attempts to establish a more balanced post-colonial
relationship and a significant reduction in its permanent military presence, France
continues to be a highly sought-after participant in resolving security challenges in
Africa. Despite French policymakers' repeated assurances that their role as the
"gendarme of Africa" is a thing of the past, French troops have been engaged in nine
military operations since the start of the new millennium. This paper aims to analyze
French strategy in the Sahel region, with a particular focus on Operation Barkhane, in
light of the changing French doctrine and practices. |
