This change affects not only it’s nature, the level of priority but also the extent of reaction. This fact is more evident in failed states. To this fact, the Sahel and Sahara region has all the ingredients in terms of vulnerability, corruption, austerity and decline of the power of states, to the extent of being lawless.

Hence, they infiltrate into the formal economy, shaping territories which will enable this structures to win the heart and minds of the people there.
