NARCO RoundUp (MAR18)

March 26, 2018

Spring is in the air in North Africa and things are starting to move again. The Algerian political rumor mill is starting to grind, a perverse stability is taking root in Libya, and speculation about Ould Abdelaziz’s intentions are budding in Nouakchott. Security throughout the Maghreb is still curiously – but not acutely – problematic. And the oil sector from Libya to Mauritania is on the upswing.

POLITICS
Algeria: It is NOT Chakib Khelil
Libya: Full Somaliazation
Mauritania: Will He or Won't He

SECURITY
Algeria: Social Unrest, not Terrorism
Libya: Risks Raised by Drone Strikes
Mauritania: The Terrorists' Conspicuous Absence

OIL
Algeria: Ould Kaddour: The Man, the Myth, the Legend
Libya: Total Confidence
Mauritania: The Hydrocarbons Sector Starts to Gel
