Abstract
This study highlights the cross-border jihadist groups, such as al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and Boko Haram, which find safe havens in the remote desert areas of West Africa. The study notes that members of these groups have used the same desert roads, which had been used by Bedouin tribes and states that fragility of national states and their institutional structures as well as their inability to control border areas are factors that contribute to the spread of these groups. It is no secret that Jihadists in West Africa are now stronger than their peers in North Africa. The significant increase of violent attacks by jihadist groups calls for finding new ways to deal with the threat of religious extremism in West Africa
