SECURITYWAR ON THE ROCKS
Victory for al-Qaeda’s Affiliate in Mali Would be a Regional Catastrophe
A potential victory for al-Qaeda's affiliate Jama'at Nusrat al-Islam wal-Muslimin in Mali would destabilize the region, unlike the Syrian conflict's mixed security outcomes. The group is described as a transnational coalition with radical goals beyond establishing an Islamic Emirate of Mali, led by Iyad Ag Ghali.
