We are pleased to present the latest addition to our Research Paper Series, namely a report on “How Jihadist Groups Take Advantage of Porous Borders in West Africa“, authored by Marco Fais, an analyst with over 25 years of experience in organizations and agencies such as United Nations, Interpol, Europol, and Frontex. Fais points to population scarcity and border porosity as lying at the root of security concerns in the Sahel region of West Africa. Fais’ paper can be accessed here.[pdf]
