Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks of 2001, the global terrorism landscape has changed dramatically. The Middle East, which for decades was considered the center of world terrorism, no longer holds that position.
The United States Africa Command (AFRICOM) currently considers Africa as the new "epicenter of global terrorism." This shift represents a significant transformation in the terrorist threat worldwide.
The African region faces growing instability caused by multiple extremist groups, becoming the most problematic area regarding international terrorism. This reality contrasts with the role the Middle East played for much of the last few decades.
