There is some 'hesitation in the voice of Sandra Maria Mariani when he pronounces the name of Tarek ibn Zyad battalion and its commander Abdul Hamid Abu Zayd, where he is imprisoned since last February 2. The confirmation that the Italian tourist is in the hands dell'Aqmi (Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb) came with a message broadcast by Al Arabiya dawn on Friday, February 18, 16 days after his abduction in the Saharan region of Tadrart in southern Algeria.
A tourist area, 250 kilometers south of the oasis of Djanet, not far from the border with Niger, where the kidnappers, a gang of 13 to 14 men, they headed on their 4 × 4 and then, presumably, take refuge in ' Adrar des Ifoghas, mountain range in northern Mali, on the border between Algeria and Niger.
Over the past two years the guerrillas dell'Aqmi, drawn mainly from the Algerian Salafist group GSPC, have specialized in the business of hostage taking westerly winds (and a dozen local guides) in Mauritania, Niger, Tunisia (no kidnapping in Mali, in Algeria that of cinquantatrenne Tocane of San Casciano is the first since 2003).
For some time there has been no news of the five employees of the French multinational Areva, taken from their homes last September 16 to Arlit (the mining area in northern Niger) and still prisoners of the militants Aqmi, but ended in tragedy for the seizure of two young Frenchmen, taken at a restaurant in Niamey on January 7 last year and killed the following day during a firefight on the border with Mali between French troops and the kidnappers.
In recent months, the red zones, specified as high risk by warning of the embassies have been expanded, covering more and more extensive areas in Algeria, Libya, Mali, Niger and Mauritania. The strategy of kidnapping, in addition to those trades "classics" of weapons, drugs, illegal immigrants, are badly affected local populations.
To make the costs of insecurity are growing their businesses, their hopes for development, in part also related to tourism and cooperation with foreign NGOs that, by creating links, improve the quality of life and provide an opportunity to come out of isolation . "Les Barbus (the bearded ones) who control the territory dell'Aqmi impose the rules of an uncompromising Islam, far from the cultural traditions of various ethnic groups and are deeply transforming the lives of villages and the camps where, especially the young, are attracted by easy money offered by traffickers.
If African countries bordering the Mediterranean live tumultuous changes in recent weeks, including sub-Saharan Africa is anything but quiet. In short, it is great disorder under the African sky.
