Most of the african states in the sahara region for example had a lot of foreign fighters who traveled to iraq and syria the states within that region did not take note of all these foreign fighters now theyve come back through libya and they are exploiting the poor fighting within the region you know theyre taking advantage of the lack of coordination between countries you know irrespective of the fact that they have the g 5 so i think you know thats one of the issues there and the local population is not buying into the governments idea of its kind of narrative so that its also affecting the fight in the tactically what the jihad these groups are been doing is to is to make sure that they keep the most military on the offensive most of the attacks have been against Hard Military targets you know the french lost about 14 of the french servicemen in mali just recently so i think the crux within the military is significant factor but mind you you cant win the war just by using the military tactics alone within the region.
