Authors : Ali Zinelaabidine . Remli Fahim .

Abstract

The Sahel region of Africa is gaining increasing importance not only at the continental level but also at the international level, for several reasons, most notably its excellent geographical location. This article will explore the anthropological implications of this geography by examining the interaction of ethnicity, religion, and language. While this interaction has led peoples and nations in other regions of the world to advancement and prosperity, in the African case, and particularly the Sahel, it has led, over time, to the collapse of states and the consolidation of the dominance of one ethnic group with a particular language and religion at the expense of other ethnic groups with different languages and religions The article concludes that unless these differences are resolved, the status quo will remain unchanged, with no significant change. La région du Sahel en Afrique prend une importance croissante, non seulement à l'échelle continentale, mais aussi à l'échelle internationale. Cela s'explique par plusieurs raisons, notamment son excellente situation géographique. Cet article explore les implications anthropologiques de cette géographie en analysant l'interaction entre l'ethnicité, la religion et la langue. Si cette interaction a permis aux peuples et aux nations d'autres régions du monde de progresser et de prospérer, dans le cas africain, et plus particulièrement au Sahel, elle a conduit, au fil du temps, à l'effondrement des États et à la consolidation de la domination d'un groupe ethnique, doté d'une langue et d'une religion particulières, au détriment d'autres groupes ethniques, aux langues et aux religions différentes. L'article conclut qu'à moins que ces différences ne soient résolues, le statu quo restera inchangé, sans changement significatif.
