Regarding the statement: "eradicate it..." a more concise and substantive statement might be -- "believe that they can carve out the desired nation-state (Azawad) utilizing acts of terrorism.

Here I would alter the verbiage somewhat because while it may prove a potential attraction to foreign extremists, unless there is definitive intelligence to suggest otherwise I would probably state the following: "... uprising is another potential base of operations for thousands of extremist and foreign fighters from around the world who will threaten American interests in the region."
Hope this provides another perspective ....
