""One of the lesser-known strands of President George W. Bush's
global war on terrorism was the Pan-Sahel Initiative, launched in 2002. American
mentors tried to train up special counterterrorism units in Chad, Mali, Niger,
and Mauritania. That program later expanded, renamed as the Trans-Sahara
Counterterrorism Initiative. The new program reached more countries, including
Algeria, and sought to add development aid and "strategic communications" to
military training.""
