| Summary |
Salafi-jihadi groups linked to al Qaeda and the Islamic State are spreading in Africa, posing new threats to countries that have either suppressed or not yet experienced significant and sustained jihadist violence. This proliferation and expansion of African Salafi-jihadi groups will fuel regional disorder, humanitarian crises, and a persistent and likely increasing global terror threat. Identifying risk factors and tracking them over time can allow analysts to forecast potential Salafi-jihadi insurgencies and better understand the dynamics leading to worst-case security scenarios and the policies that can avert them. Countries that have contained or defeated Salafi-jihadi insurgencies may still face significant risk, particularly if they have not addressed the underlying conditions that fuel insurgencies. These countries are most vulnerable if they experience political, security, or economic crises that reopen opportunities to weak or dormant Salafi-jihadi networks |
