The rise of Jihadist ideology in Africa

y of African states, bedevilled by systemic and structural weakness, remain particularly imperilled. Increasingly, the jihadists have found means and ways to survive, as they cleverly exploit the vulnerable youthful generations by recruiting them and opening up centres for radicalisation where training is offered. They have shown that they can challenge any African states monopoly in politics and governance by creating violence in many states. The North, especially in Libya, Jihadist affiliated to Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), this group has grown a clear indicator of hallmarks of a creation of country failing to curb the jihadist ideology. Over the past two years since the overthrowing of the Gadhafi regime, the group has evolved and taken control of huge quantities of lethal weaponry, some of which end up in the hands of militants and insurgents in the Sahara and West Africa
