  <link>https://www.crisisgroup.org/fr/rpt/africa/sahel-west-africa/321-le-jnim-et-le-dilemme-de-lexpansion-au-dela-du-sahel</link>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Le Jama’at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin, principal mouvement jihadiste au Sahel central, s’est engagé dans une expansion qui a mis en alerte l’Afrique de l’Ouest. Si la conquête territoriale n’est pas l’objectif premier du groupe, les Etats menacés devraient s’y préparer en renforçant leur compréhension de leurs vulnérabilités et en ravivant la coopération régionale.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
