Central Sahel Factsheet<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/a>\u00a0\u2013<\/b>\u00a0Over the past half decade, violent Islamist groups have gained ground in the central Sahel region of west Africa by controlling territory and conducting attacks in the tri-border region between Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso.
