Senegalese President Macky Sall has warned that his country and others in West Africa must prepare for a jihadist push into the Atlantic from the neighboring Sahel.
On Tuesday, Sall advocated a vigorous attitude towards jihadists, with a strong position to refuse dialogue with them, he said in an interview with French Radio station, RFI.
Senegal, has long followed the situation on its borders with Mauritania bordering to its north and Mali to the east, the epicenter of jihadist violence spreading across the Sahel.
The West African nation is one of the main contributors of personnel to the UN mission in Mali (MINUSMA). In February, Senegalese justice officials charged and imprisoned four men arrested in a town on the border with Mali as members of a support cell for one of the main armed jihadist groups operating in Mali, affiliated with al-Qaeda.
