Violent non-state actors have become almost endemic to political
movements in the Middle East and the Horn of Africa. This book
examines why they play such a key role and the different ways in
which they have developed. Placing them in the context of the
region, separate chapters cover the organizations that are
currently active, including: The Muslim Brotherhood, The Islamic
State in Iraq and Syria, Jabhat al-Nusra, Hamas, Hizbullah, the
PKK, al-Shabab and the Huthis. The book shows that while these
groups are a new phenomenon, they also relate to other key factors
including the 'unfinished business' of the colonial and
postcolonial eras and tacit encouragement of the
Wahhabi/Salafi/jihadi da'wa by some regional powers. Their
diversity means violent non-state actors elude simple
classification, ranging from 'national' and 'transnational' to
religious and political movements. However, by examining their
origins, their supporters and their motivations, this book helps
explain their ubiquity in the region.
