The explanatory factors for the transposition of the political-security crises from Libya to the Sahel are endogenous and exogenous. Endogenous factors include the geopolitical configuration predisposed to the transfer of some situations from peoples straddling porous borders; the climate change that characterizes the region; the similarity of political regimes marked by dictatorship, the durability and longevity in power of heads of state, facing a population determined by the need for political alternation, ensure that crises leave one point towards others; the pre-existing secessionist desires in these countries were accentuated following the collapse of the Libyan state coinciding with the independence of South Sudan. Libya’s geopolitical weight previously constituted a point of regional geopolitical balance, the collapse of which took away the beneficiaries of its stability. The underdevelopment which characterizes the collateral victims constituted an endogenous factor because of the poor living conditions which pushed the population to revolt. Corruption and misappropriation of funds cause the State to lose the means enabling it to assume its sovereign missions. The resurgence of terrorist groups and the inability of Sahel states to control the sale and circulation of weapons facilitate the multiplicity of crime in the region. As for exogenous factors, they refer to the ineffectiveness of multinational interventions, external interference through less effective unilateral interventions and Western political control that hamper conflict resolution initiatives in African countries.

Abstract
The explanatory factors for the transposition of the political-security crises from Libya to the Sahel are endogenous and exogenous. Endogenous factors include the geopolitical configuration predisposed to the transfer of some situations from peoples straddling porous borders; the climate change that characterizes the region; the similarity of political regimes marked by dictatorship, the durability and longevity in power of heads of state, facing a population determined by the need for political alternation, ensure that crises leave one point towards others; the pre-existing secessionist desires in these countries were accentuated following the collapse of the Libyan state coinciding with the independence of South Sudan. Libya’s geopolitical weight previously constituted a point of regional geopolitical balance, the collapse of which took away the beneficiaries of its stability. The underdevelopment which characterizes the collateral victims constituted an endogenous factor because of the poor living conditions which pushed the population to revolt. Corruption and misappropriation of funds cause the State to lose the means enabling it to assume its sovereign missions. The resurgence of terrorist groups and the inability of Sahel states to control the sale and circulation of weapons facilitate the multiplicity of crime in the region. As for exogenous factors, they refer to the ineffectiveness of multinational interventions, external interference through less effective unilateral interventions and Western political control that hamper conflict resolution initiatives in African countries.

Abstract: (french)
Les facteurs explicatifs de la transposition des crises politico-sécuritaires de Libye vers le Sahel sont endogènes et exogènes. Les facteurs endogènes sont notamment la configuration géopolitique prédisposée au transfert de certaines situations à partir des peuples à cheval des frontières poreuses; le dérèglement climatique qui caractérise la région; la similitude des régimes politiques marqués par la dictature, la pérennité et la longévité au pouvoir des chefs d’Etat, en face d’une population déterminée par le besoin de l’alternance politique, font à ce que les crises quittent un point vers les autres; les velléités sécessionnistes préexistant dans ces pays se sont accentuées à partir de l’effondrement de l’Etat libyen coïncidant avec l’indépendance du Sud Soudan. Le poids géopolitique de la Libye constituait auparavant un point d’équilibre géopolitique régional, dont l’effondrement a emporté les bénéficiaires de sa stabilité. Le sous-développement qui caractérise les victimes collatérales a constitué un facteur endogène à cause des mauvaises conditions de vie ayant poussé la population à la révolte. La corruption et les détournements des fonds font perdre à l’Etat les moyens lui permettant d’assumer ses missions régaliennes. La résurgence des groupes terroristes et l’incapacité des Etats du Sahel de contrôler la vente et la circulation des armes facilitent la multiplicité de la criminalité dans la région. Quant aux facteurs exogènes, ils font référence à l’inefficacité des interventions multinationales, l’ingérence extérieure à travers les interventions unilatérales moins efficaces et le contrôle politique occidental qui entravent les initiatives de résolution des conflits dans les pays africains.
