Onyo la Ufaransa la kuondoka nchini Mali laonesha kuongezeka kwa wasiwasi kuhusu hali ya usalama katika Sahel.
Baada ya Ufaransa kutoa wito kwa raia wake kuondoka haraka nchini Mali, hali ya usalama nchini humo imeendelea kuibua hofu kubwa ya kimataifa kuhusu kuongezeka kwa vitendo vya kigaidi.
Hatua hiyo ya Ufaransa inatokana na mashambulizi ya hivi karibuni yaliyotokea katika miji kadhaa ya Mali, ikiwemo Bamako, ambapo vikosi vya usalama vimeendelea kupambana na makundi ya kigaidi.
Wachambuzi wa usalama wanasema uamuzi wa Ufaransa ni ishara ya kuongezeka kwa hatari katika eneo la Sahel, huku nchi mbalimbali zikifuatilia kwa karibu hali inayoendelea.
Wakati huo huo, mamlaka za Mali zinaendelea na operesheni za kijeshi kujaribu kurejesha utulivu na kuzuia mashambulizi zaidi.
