The Sahel region in recent years has spotlighted an amazing amalgam of internally generated conflicts and regrettable scenes of the pervasive neo-colonialism. The meshing of these untoward forces transformed the region in to veritable hotbed of crisis that has attracted international attention or has determined the new dimension of international politics. In this light, the region effuses actions and circumstances that touch on international law, state fragility and politics with economic consequences. This piece therefore focuses on the community-based (internal) approaches to global problems by laying emphasis on the role of approaches in conflict resolution in the Sahel. This essay borrows mainly from secondary authoritative sources to comment on the Sahelian conflict and to sustain the argument that the intractability of Islamic insurgency, terrorism, and neo-colonialism in the region, dominated internal politics and accounted for the expulsion of France and America and the simmering relations with ECOWAS that birthed the Alliance of Sahel States. In essence, Sahelian response to the region’s conflicts ushered in a new world order thereby underlining the fact that in dealing with Africa, international partners should consider the sovereignty of African states and by extension prioritize African solutions to African problems as the major respite model out of her impasses.
