It argues that although recently much attention has been paid to the sub region as a zone of terrorism, such terrorism has deeper historical roots and as such pre-dates the position taken by most contemporary scholars. West Africa has been a victim of terrorism over the years and to take on board only recent happenings is to do injustice to history. What has changed and continued? Who have been the key players? What attempts have been carried out by the respective organizations to stamp out terrorism?  </p>}, number={8}, journal={AUSTRAL: Brazilian Journal of Strategy & International Relations}, author={Gam Nkwi, Walter}, year={2022}, month={Nov.} }
