This report seeks to provide a consideration of the rapidly evolving threat posed by Jihadi terrorism in Africa. The threat has over the past decade rapidly accelerated its reach and alarmingly intensified its lethality in virtually every expanse of the African continent over the past decade (2013-2023)[1]. Jihadist terrorism has emerged as a significant, ever-evolving threat in Sub-Saharan Africa, posing significant challenges to regional stability, security, and development. Whilst we are covering this most recent period, it needs to also be acknowledged that Islamist terrorism has long historical roots in Africa. For instance, in Nigeria, historical precedents to Boko Haram go all the way back to 1802=1804 when religious leader and ethnic Fulani herder, Uthman dan Fody, declared his jihad to “purify” Islam.
