Abstract

This Africa Policy Brief is based on the recently published book « Time for a new approach on terror in Africa? » In line with the conclusions of the book, this policy brief wants to tackle dominant perspectives on insurgency groups in Africa. It argues for a more nuanced understanding of these groups, which also looks into their roles in local societies.
