Abstract

Despite efforts by countries in the Lake Chad region and their partners to suffocate the insurgency in the region, insurgents have continued to execute deadly attacks on civilians and military positions. Extant literature shows that the insurgency is sustained by factors like ideology, poverty, politics, arms proliferation, money laundering, external influence, among others. Not much has been done by scholars to establish the linkage between proceeds from engagement in licit trade by terrorist organisations in the region to the sustenance of the insurgency. Relying on data from secondary sources, this study provides evidence of the linkage.

乍得湖地区参与恐怖组织的合法冒险活动和恐怖主义融资

摘要

尽管乍得湖地区各国及其合作伙伴为遏制该地区的叛乱作出了努力，但叛乱分子仍继续对平民和军事阵地进行致命的攻击。现有文献表明，叛乱是由意识形态，贫困，政治，武器扩散，洗钱，外部影响等因素造成的。在该地区恐怖组织从事合法贸易的收益与维持叛乱之间的联系方面，学者们所做的工作还很少。依靠来自二级来源的数据，本研究提供了相关性的证据。
