Abstract
The terrorist insurgency in Mali was an international jigsaw and a litmus test for African security mechanism under Great Powers’ influence in recent times. The post-bin Ladin terrorist upsurge rekindled anxiety that the assassination of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Ladin did not put an end to international terrorism and that Great Powers can intervene in African states under the guise of war on terrorism as French “Operation Serval” in Mali demonstrates. The paper’s objective is to empirically underscore the politico-economic motivations, strengths and weaknesses of Great Powers’ military intervention in Africa under the guise of war on terrorism. From the theoretical foundation of interdependence of nations, the author argued that intelligence-sharing at early warming stage of terrorist incubation matched with astute diplomatic efforts and respect for people’s rights remain more salutary and effective collective measures to nip on the bud external intervention against terrorism in sovereign states.
