Sub-Saharan Africa, the Sahel region in particular, has become one of the most attractive regions for terrorist organizations. In the period of 2018-2019, the number of victims of terrorism in that region has increased, breaking the records of the Middle East and North Africa. The Sahel region, along with South Asia, have recorded more than 80% of deaths resulting from terrorism in 2019.
After the defeat of DAESH in Syria and Iraq, and the liberation of most of the lands, this terrorist organization started transforming gradually to become an ideological movement that carries out terrorist acts in various regions of the world where its branches exist, especially the Sahel region in Africa.
