The Sahel is experiencing political upheaval and insecurity due to the conflict in Libya, the crises in Mali and Nigeria, as well as the spread of violent extremism across the region. This instability – taking place in a context of deep poverty and vulnerability – has had dramatic consequences for the countries involved and the population living in these areas. Conflict has impacted agro-pastoral activities, and trade and food supplies have been disrupted. New routes have opened for the trafficking of people, drugs and arms. The state and traditional authorities have been challenged by armed groups, and thousands of people have sought refuge in neighboring countries, in particular from Mali and Nigeria to Chad and Niger. 2017-10-24T22:04:41Z 2017-10-24T22:04:41Z 2017-10-12 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/250941507872236685/Sahel-Refugees-human-face-of-a-regional-crisis http://hdl.handle.net/10986/28565 English AFCW3 Economic Update; CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Economic Updates and Modeling Economic & Sector Work Africa Chad Guinea Mali Niger
