Islamist terrorist groups have found a new home and it's not in the Middle East -- it's in Africa. Specifically, the Sahel, a band of territory in West Africa between the Sahara desert and the savannah.
Since the early 2000s, Islamist extremist groups have increasingly strengthened their base here -- training fighters, raising money, and launching a massive number of attacks.
Some are linked to al-Qaeda and other Islamic State. This is throwing these already weak countries into crises and making the region one of the most dangerous in the world.
To truly understand the international conflicts and trends shaping our world you need a big-picture view. Video journalist Sam Ellis uses maps to tell these stories and chart their effects on foreign policy.

An earlier episode of Vox Atlas explores the man-made famines threatening 20 million people in Nigeria, Somalia, and Yemen. Watch: bit.ly/2lpxzfT

Faith is strongest in an empty stomach.
-
I honestly feel like a spy being briefed by vox everytime I watch these videos
-
"the group focused on the Chad region" That's it. They are done. Boko Haram is no more.

Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime. Aristotle

I need more vox atlas and borders
-
Vox putting out banger after banger. Keep the flame coming.
-
I live in Nigeria. Although informative, this was also disheartening to watch. Humanity is better than this, I know it.
-
I am a Nigerian and I thank you for talking about this. I know that boko haram usually attacks the north of Nigeria but I'm scared for people like my family, who live in the south and other parts of Nigeria
-
Cameroon have successfully pushed Boko Haram out of their territory
-
Yet another incredible and informative video! 🙏🏽 and your editing and graphics use inspires me
-
Makes us realize how lucky we are to be living without these. Thank you Vox for pointing out and informing us about these problems.
-
I pray for peace in Africa. Thank you for the lesson
-
This video looks like a promo video you would see from a call of duty game.
-
Vox atlas is my most fav series
-
The weird part about boko haram is that even though it's an Islamists group most victims are muslims
-
The background music is so dope.
-
The Onion put it pretty well: "Situation in Nigeria seems pretty complex."
-
Meanwhile on other part of the world people are complaing about manspreading.🤐

America doesn't get involved:WHY ISN'T AMERICA HELPING !?!?!?! America gets involved: YOU CAUSED THIS MESS !!!
