AQIM in the Sahel

This sounds like something from a novel.

There are other lawless regions where al-Qaeda operates, outside Pakistan. The AQIM (Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb) is becoming an increasing player. Poor Edwin Dyer, a British tourist abducted and later killed by the group. Probably brutally beheaded.

French officials say the vast territory in which AQIM operates is essentially lawless and is outside the sovereign reach of governments.
Does anyone know what the Sahel is?
