Abstract(s)
Se Terrorismo é violência política exercida sobre civis ou pessoas desarmadas, tanto pode ser empregue por
um Estado autocrático, como ser instrumental na atividade subversiva de grupos paramilitares que procuram
derrubar governos ou alterar o sistema vigente. É fenómeno distinto de guerra ou de guerrilha, embora possa
ser recurso disponível num conflito híbrido que também inclua mercenários e milícias. O artigo confere
exemplos de insegurança e de terrorismo no Sahel. Analisa grupos jihadistas que recorrem a atividades
coercivas e que abusam de povos vulneráveis, conservadores ou fundamentalistas, com vista a alcançar
objetivos político-religiosos, assim manipulando palcos estratégicos complexos, com repercussões desastrosas
para o presente e para futuro dos países envolvidos. Recorreu-se a bibliografia secundária para a investigação
e análise científica, procurando abordagem inovadora e multifatorial para explicar fenómeno difícil de erradicar
no Sahel, pelas razões devidamente identificadas para o efeito.
If terrorism is political violence against civilians or unarmed people, it can either be employed by an autocratic state, or be instrumental in the subversive activity of paramilitary groups seeking to overthrow governments or change the current system. It is a phenomenon distinct from war or guerrilla warfare, although it can be an available resource in a hybrid conflict that also includes mercenaries and militias. This article gives examples of insecurity and terrorism in the Sahel region. It analyses jihadist groups that resort to coercive activities, therefore abusing vulnerable, conservative or fundamentalist peoples in order to achieve political-religious goals, and thus manipulating complex strategic stages with disastrous repercussions for the present and future of the countries involved. Secondary bibliography was used for scientific research and analysis, seeking an innovative and multifactorial approach to explaining a phenomenon that is difficult to eradicate in the Sahel, for the reasons identified.
