Famine in the Horn of Africa: a boon for terrorist groups?
In the countries of the Horn of Africa, populations are experiencing unprecedented food insecurity as a result of recurrent droughts. While global warming is the primary cause of the famine, conflicts and the presence of terrorist groups reinforce the food crisis in the region. These terrorist groups take advantage of humanitarian aid to make financial profits, for example, in Somalia, the Al-Chabab group gains legitimacy by distributing food to the population. Are terrorist groups using the food crisis to their own advantage? What are the links between terrorism and food insecurity?
