This paper examines the threat of international terrorism originating from Africa. The author argues that the problem of weak and failing states in Africa is significantly more dangerous than is generally understood as these unstable regions are breeding grounds for organized crime and terrorism. He also argues that more tolerant forms of Islam in the region are being swept aside by the militant form of Islam imported from the Middle East with reverberations that will be felt throughout the region. The paper concludes with an interview of the author.
