Mauritania and Senegal recently decided to join forces in the fight against terrorism and organized crime. In this, they follow Algeria, which is exerting greater efforts and acting with vigilance after the bloody attack against the gas plant of In Amenas that killed 38 foreigners.
This fight, however, is inefficient without the involvement of the citizens, who are targeted by a comprehensive public-awareness campaign against terrorism and organized crime along the border. Both banks of the Senegal River, which geographically unites the two neighboring countries are part of an intense campaign calling on citizens to join their efforts with the joint military missions to combat the acts of terror that are gradually spilling into the Sahel region.
