Ps: voor
wie geïnteresseerd is, nog een citaat uit het artikel dat ik me niet kan laten:
“The impact of terrorism on the peoples of the Sahara – Sahel has been devastating, not least for the regional economy. More than 60 kidnappings of Westerners have led to the collapse of the tourism industry through which Tuareg communities in Mali, Niger and Algeria previously acquired much of their cash income.
For example, the killing of four French tourists in Mauretania, in addition to subsequent kidnappings, resulted in only 173 tourists visiting Mauritania in 2011, compared with 72 500 in 2007.
The loss of tourism had deprived the region of tens of millions of dollars and forced more and more Tuareg (and others), especially young men, into the ‘criminality’of banditry and drug trafficking.” Prof Jeremy Keenan, London University
