Sentinel Security Assessment – North Africa
Jane's – Mar 25, 2008
Routes southeast from Bamako Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso are reasonably direct but connections north of the Niger are poor. As part of its scheme of upgrading road infrastructure Mali has begun to extend the network northwards via a new bridge across the river at Gao and eventually towards Niger (by 2008) and across the Sahara to Algeria. The historically poor and circuitous roads to Senegal and Mauritania via Nioro and Kayes respectively and to the Guinea border via Kourémalé have now been tarred and provide reliable all-weather connections at least on the Malian side of the borders. A second southern tarred route to Senegal via Kita and Kéniéba was under construction in 2007. com|jane’s fighting ships|janes aircraft|janes military|www… As part of its scheme of upgrading road infrastructure Mali has begun to extend the network northwards via a new bridge across the river at Gao and eventually towards Niger (by 2008) and across the Sahara to Algeria.

Tanzania Sudan Senegal and Libya have offered troops for the operation. In February AU leaders agreed to support Comoros and commit troops to restore control over Anjouan after failed negotiations by Francesco Madeira an AU special envoy. Madeira said time had run out for Bacar. “I am afraid to say that if he tries to do that it will be the end of him physically if necessary” Mr Madeira said.
