The mixed multinational force and the problem of hybrid warfare

Terrorism has regained its vitality in the Lake Chad region, multiplying deadly incursions, suicide bombings, looting of property and hostage-taking. In this changing world, a massive, mutant, asymmetrical, hybrid and Islamized terrorism has gradually taken root: the radical Islamist threat, illustrated in particular by the Al-Qaeda nebula, the figurehead of jihadism, is now competing with recently created African groups such as Boko Haram. This transnational phenomenon, which is now at the heart of the socio-political life of the countries that make up the LCBC, is of concern in many ways. Thus, the establishment of the MMF, as an interregional coalition, is the best instrument for fighting hybrid warfare in this part of Africa.
