Descripción
Sumario:The sharp increase in terrorist activity in the Sahel after the Arab Spring led to serious destabilization, as well as the emergence of new and re-actualization of old conflicts in the region. A number of terrorist groups have emerged and/or intensified their activities, including ones associated with Al-Qaeda and the Islamic State (AQIM, DNIM, ISGS, ISWAP, etc.). In a number of cases, full-scale Islamist insurgencies emerged and provoked increased external interference in the affairs of the region. In this introductory chapter, Besenyő et al. offer a preliminary description and analysis of terrorist activities and political contention in North Africa and the Sahel region in the recent years.
