The appeal certainly has its logic, given Beijing’s expanding influence in Africa and the increasingly urgent need to address the terrorist threat in the area. Before China becomes deeply involved in Sahelian counterterrorism efforts, however, it would be better for countries on the ground to coordinate with their international allies to map out the contours of international support for what should…
