Many parts of the African continent remain engulfed in violence and instability, issues which have led to the severe disruption of the normal functioning of political, social, commercial and economic activity. In addition, the human displacement of millions has been brutal as has been the destruction of large parts of many key cities and pivotal infrastructure.
Terrorism has also become an increasing reality in Africa. The continent continues to provide fertile ground for terrorist organisations through vast, porous borders, political instability, the relative ease with which financial support is secured and vulnerable targets. All of these have provided terrorist organisations with ample opportunity to inflict grave human and commercial destruction on the continent. |
| The embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998 highlighted the growing danger that international terrorism poses to the Africa and the continued plethora of social and economic malaise has led to a massive increase of terrorist-related activities, particularly in the North African region.
Consultancy Africa Intelligence’s Africa Conflict & Terrorism Monitor is designed to provide a monthly overview of conflict and terrorism situations on the African continent. Dealing with established as well as emerging issues in the two areas, the publication is crucial in tracking country and regional changes that may affect business, policy and humanitarian issues in Africa.
