France’s recent military intervention in Mali and the hostage crisis in Algeria have brought international attention to continuing instability in West and North Africa. The crisis has renewed focus not just on the region, but also on Europe’s approach toward Africa, American policies to combat extremism, and the complex history and relationships that shape modern dynamics in the Sahel.

On February 6, CGD Vice President for Programs and Senior Fellow Todd Moss will participate on this panel discussion hosted by the Africa Growth Initiative at Brookings on the crisis in Mali. The discussion will explore how current affairs and priorities in France, the U.S., and West and North Africa have influenced recent events and the trajectory of the conflict going forward.
