Last week, individual members and their friends met in the north of France to discuss.

After a global presentation by ALDE Individual Members in France country coordinator Yves Robert (a former Special Advisor to the Prime Minister of Niger and Advisor to the Government of Mali) a lot of questions were raised concerning population growth (from 113 million today, to 335 million in 2050), economic development, climate, water and terrorism. During the concluding remarks it was observed that the best way forward is to develop a Marshall plan for the Sahel.
