"Released by the Counter Extremism Project, titled “An Unholy Alliance: Connections between Extremism and Illicit Trade in East Africa”, the report highlighted the growing threat to regional stability posed by illicit markets and trade driven by corruption.

The Counter Extremism Project (CEP) is an international policy organization led by a distinguished group of former world leaders and diplomats based in Germany, New York, and London."

"Security officials from around the world are meeting in Luanda, Angola, to address deep concerns about growing terrorism in Africa.

On this week’s episode of 'The Hunt with WTOP national security correspondent JJ Green,' Dr. Hans Jakob Schindler, senior director of the Counter Extremism Project, is warning that what’s brewing inside Africa is trouble for the U.S."

"The same warning was expressed by Hans-Jakob Schindler, senior director of the international non-profit organization Counter Extremism Project, which monitors and evaluates the propaganda of Islamist terrorist groups in Africa.
Schindler argues that as these groups grow more strengthened, they will end up not focusing exclusively on gaining control over areas in the region, 'but they are all still part of this global strategy, which means attacks on the West are a priority.'"
