A new report from the US House Committee on Homeland Security reveals Africa has become the world's most active terrorism theater, with over two-thirds of ISIS's global operations now occurring on the continent. Seven out of the top ten countries with the highest number of terrorism-related deaths are in Africa. However, the report states US and partner resources in Africa remain limited, and intelligence coverage is uneven.
The report, titled "25th Anniversary Report: National Security Improvements and the Domestic Threat Landscape 25 Years After 9/11/01," assesses changes in US homeland security since the 9/11 attacks and examines emerging threats. It highlights the shift in terrorism tactics, the rise of lone actors and inspired attackers, and the need to shift from organization-focused counterterrorism to behavior-centric prevention.
The committee also warns of the growing cyber threats from nation states and the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity.
