AFRICA - Regional Islamic Militant Unrest

"Crises in Algeria, Mali Reflect Regional Unrest" PBS Newshour 1/18/2013

Excerpt

SUMMARY:  Recent terrorist activity in Mali and Algeria reflect greater regional tumult and threat to international security. Ray Suarez talks to Mary Jane Deeb from the Library of Congress and Dirk Vandewalle from Dartmouth College about the various geopolitical factors at play.

RAY SUAREZ (Newshour):  We return now to North Africa, and what recent developments in Mali and Algeria tell us about the terrorist threat in that part of the world.

For that, I'm joined by Mary-Jane Deeb, chief of the African and Middle Eastern Division at the Library of Congress -- the views she expresses here are her own -- and Dirk Vandewalle, an associate professor of government at Dartmouth College.
