Description
Constantly evolving by the day, terrorism threatens global peace and security, and its capital-intensive nature, consequently drives sub-regional terror groups to explore diverse funding sources, both legal and illegal. Terrorism thrives on money, and without it, terrorists are unable to function due to the high operational and logistical costs. Money, hence, serves as the lifeblood of terrorist activities in West Africa, and the world at large. Terrorism destabilizes nations, undermines economic development, democracy, rule of law, fundamental human rights and human dignity, and its devastating ramifications thereof, have, over time, become a growing concern to society. The present book, mindful of the evolving terror threat to West Africa's stability and security, explores the fundamental drivers of terrorist financing in West Africa; investigates the modus operandi, techniques, tactics, and funding sources of sub-regional terrorist groups; examines the motives of supporters, sponsors, and financiers of terrorist financing in West Africa; probes the vulnerabilities confronting West Africa's anti-terror financing initiatives; and explores potent ways of empowering national and regional institutions, to enable them to address the threat of sub-regional terrorism and its financing.
