New threats to Sahel stability
A study by the French Institute of International Relations and Strategic Studies revealed that the conflict in Sudan, which began three years ago, is no longer confined to the internal situation. Instead, it has led to a major geopolitical reshaping spanning from Darfur to Libya, Chad, and Niger, where borders have become shifting fronts with intertwined security, economic, and humanitarian issues. The regions of Kufra and Fizan in Libya are expanding to become transit routes connecting Darfur with neighboring countries, amid rising smuggling activities, arms trade, and gold trafficking, all of which complicate regional stability. These dynamics lead to weakened central control and increased human flows toward Libya, with over four million Sudanese crossing into neighboring countries and more than ten million internally displaced persons. This situation threatens regional security and is reshaping the balance of power, especially as its impact on Libya intensifies. Libya has become a fragile region where official institutions, tribes, and armed groups intersect, leading to changes in its relations with its geography and security landscape.
