The Dying Sahara: US Imperialism and Terror in Africa Paperback – March 14, 2013

by Jeremy Keenan (Author)

Purchase options and add-ons


In The Dark Sahara (Pluto, 2009), Jeremy Keenan exposed the collusion between the US and Algeria in fabricating terrorism to justify a new ‘Saharan front’ in Washington’s War on Terror. Now, in The Dying Sahara, he reveals how the designation of the region as a ‘Terror Zone’ has destroyed the lives and livelihoods of thousands of innocent people.

Beginning in 2004, with what local people called the US ‘invasion’ of the Sahel, The Dying Sahara shows how repressive, authoritarian regimes - cashing in on US terrorism ‘rents’ - provoked Tuareg rebellions in both Niger and Mali. Further, he argues that US activity has unleashed a new, narco-trafficking branch of Al-Qaeda.

Keenan's chillingly detailed research shows that the US and its new combatant African command (AFRICOM) have created instability in a region the size of western Europe.

Editorial Reviews

Review

An illuminating account of how the US and its new African command have created a self-fulfilling prophecy of terror and instability in the Sahara - Isaac Kfir, The Journal for Islamic Studies

“There is much in Keenan’s analysis that is compelling and persuasive. The writing is excellent and Keenan knows the region and its people extremely well.”
― Journal of Islamic Studies
