On Tuesday, April 30, Casa Árabe’s headquarters in Cordoba will become
the stage for this round table discussion, with the participation of
four experts on the matter: Teresa Rojo, Daniel Coq, Miguel Ángel Martín
López and Oumar Diallo.
Today, Jihadist terrorism constitutes a major threat, a destabilizing force that is even impacting the symbolic order of human beings and States themselves. Within this context, both the Sahel and Maghreb regions (though to a lesser degree in the latter) are exposed and subject to real risk that may undoubtedly affect the stability of the governments which are involved. Among other factors, poverty, an insecure food supply and underdevelopment create a breeding ground for the appearance of groups related with Jihadist terrorism in these regions. The response by the affected countries and the international community must include the elimination of these conditions and the promotion of necessary change. At this round table discussion, titled “Development, Human Security and Human Rights to Fight the Jihadist Threat in the Maghreb and Sahel regions: Human safety and food security,” we will be debating this subject from various perspectives, along with specialists and researchers who are working on the matter.
