Abstract

Summary
There are multiple economic and social reasons for international terrorism within the African continent, in addition to other reasons, all of which have contributed to the rapid spread of international terrorism in Africa. Terrorist groups have exploited these reasons to the best of their ability and have played a role in spreading and expanding within the corners of the African continent. Between the low rates of economic development and sustainable human development, as well as the rates of poverty and unemployment among African youth, as well as the low rates of education and illiteracy among young people, these factors have helped terrorist and jihadist groups within the continent to expand rapidly, not content with the borders of African countries, but crossing them into more than one country.
