Central Africa

Central African States face multiple terrorist threats. Boko Haram*s terrorist activity has spread from its original area of operation in north-eastern Nigeria into the entire Lake Chad Basin region, affecting the Far North region in Cameroon and Lake Chad Province in Chad. Boko Haram has splintered into two main groups (one of which, Islamist State West Africa Province (ISWAP), is directly affiliated with ISIL), and a third group, Ba Koura. Collectively, they remain major threats for States located around the Lake Chad Basin.

Violence perpetrated by other armed groups, including in Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo and the Central African Republic, continues to pose a threat to the overall stability of this subregion.
