Perspectives on North Africa

Libya needs new ideas and a national and international will to reset a realistic path toward a modern state.

Now that Israel has clarified its intent to undertake operations in Rafah, after evacuating the nearly 1.4 million displaced Palestinians who have sought a safe haven in the Gaza Strip’s southern city, it may only be a matter of time before the Egyptian’s president’s true intentions are revealed.

Tunisia’s president has cleared the field for his reelection on October 6. His increasing hold on power is raising critical questions about the country’s future.

Turkey and Egypt’s recent rapprochement comes after years of tension.

North Africa is, once again, the theatre of local and global challenges, which makes it a highly unstable regional complex. Unresolved crises like the ones in Libya and Western Sahara create obstacles to regional security, economic integration, and peaceful coexistence.

The Atlantic Council North Africa Program and the Institute for International Political Studies is pleased to publish its latest dossier focusing on a selected number of conflict-case studies (Libya, Yemen, Mali and Russia).
