Jihadism in the Sahel: An evolving threat

Join us for a briefing looking at the changing jihadist threat in the Sahel and the risks of spillover into neighbouring regions.

Several jihadist groups pose a persistent threat across the Sahel. Despite regional counterterrorism efforts, groups such as Jamaat Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin (JNIM) and Islamic State (IS) are not just continuing their operations, they are adapting their tactics, with attacks becoming more deadly and reaching beyond established areas of operations.

We will cover:

• Emerging trends in terrorism across Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger
• The threat jihadists pose in neighbouring countries and regions
• What this means for the stability of regimes across the region

The briefing will include an opportunity for you to pose questions to our panel.
