En bref
La force conjointe antiterroriste des cinq États du Sahel, créée en 2017 avec le soutien de la France et du Conseil de sécurité mais jamais dotée du financement dont elle avait besoin. Le Mali s’en est retiré en mai 2022 ; le Burkina Faso et le Niger ont suivi en décembre 2023 et les membres restants ont dissous le cadre quelques jours plus tard — remplacé dans la pratique par la coopération de défense de l’AES.

- Border zones of Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and Chad, organised in sectors, with the tri-border Liptako-Gourma as the central one.
- Historique notable
- The G5 Sahel, a regional framework created in 2014, decided in 2017 to stand up a joint force of battalions contributed by each member to operate in defined border sectors against jihadist groups and organised crime, with France as its sponsor and EUTM Mali mandated to assist it. The Security Council welcomed the force and in December 2017 authorised MINUSMA to provide it logistical and operational support under resolution 2391, but the Chapter VII mandate and UN funding the members wanted were never granted, and the force ran on pledges — much of them from the EU — that arrived late or lapsed. It conducted named operations in the tri-border zone and suffered a 2018 attack on its Sévaré headquarters. Mali's transition withdrew from all G5 bodies on 15 May 2022, accusing the framework of instrumentalisation; Burkina Faso and Niger, under their own juntas, announced on 2 December 2023 that they were leaving the G5 and its joint force, and on 6 December Chad and Mauritania acknowledged the framework's dissolution. The three departing states had already created the Alliance of Sahel States in September 2023, whose unified force is this atlas's successor record in substance if not in law.
- Points forts
- The one regional force with a cross-border legal basis among the five, international political backing, and a sector design that matched the geography of the tri-border insurgency.
- Limites
- A force that depended on external funding it never securely received and on a French sponsorship its members came to reject; national contingents that answered to their own commands; and a Security Council that endorsed it without paying for it. Its collapse followed the coups rather than any battlefield defeat, which is the point the AES states made about it. A historical record only.
