Ansaroul Islam and the Growing Terrorist Insurgency in Burkina Faso
- Title
- Ansaroul Islam and the Growing Terrorist Insurgency in Burkina Faso
- Abstract
- Since last year, jihadi attacks in northern Burkina Faso have been steadily on the rise. These have largely been attributable to a newly established but understudied jihadi group, Ansaroul Islam, which has its roots in the ongoing insurgency in Mali and is linked to al-Qa`ida's network in the Sahel. Its budding insurgency greatly threatens the security of Burkina Faso and neighboring countries. State responses to the violence have been heavy-handed, which only furthers the cause of Ansaroul Islam.
