Terrorism in East and West Africa provides a highly interpretative
analysis of under-focusing in intelligence assessment. Essential
reading for students of terrorism and anti-terrorist
practitioners.' - Barry Rider, Jesus College, University of
Cambridge, UK'This is an interesting and challenging book that will
be of interest to those who know nothing of terrorism in Africa but
also to those who are familiar with the patterns of conflict in
that continent. A former practitioner, the author brings practical
analysis to a range of terrorist groups on the continent that range
over significant areas of East, West and Central Africa, producing
a book that is of considerable value and that fills a clear gap in
current analysis.' - Paul Jackson, University of Birmingham, UK 'In
Dr Ridley's latest volume Terrorism in East and West Africa,
practitioner knowledge and academic scholarship have combined to
produce a highly effective - and readable - work.' - Euan Grant,
International Financial,Tax and Border Control Consultant Since
9/11, despite extensive international efforts against global
terrorism, there has been a worrying lack of focus on terrorist
activity in Africa. Terrorism in East and West Africa: The
Under-focused Dimension addresses this strategic deficit by drawing
together and analyzing the various domestic and international
counter-terrorist measures that have been carried out in East-West
Africa since this infamous attack. In his analysis Dr Ridley
emphasizes the need to avoid apportioning blame, preferring instead
to conduct a thorough examination of counter-terrorist financing
measures in certain African countries, as well as looking at the
problems associated with their implementation. In this context, the
author explains how Western impositions, guidance, and assistance
have compounded the ineffectiveness of such measures. This timely
book draws upon the author's experience as a former intelligence
analyst, to give an account of terrorism in East and West Africa in
the first two decades after the 9/11 attacks. Throughout the book
there is a questioning of why there has been, and continues to be,
an incorrect strategic approach to this threat. This book explores
counter-terrorism measures in East and West Africa from an original
perspective and delivers an important resource for scholars of
terrorism laws, strategies, and politics.
