The violence and instability of North Africa is now spreading into Sub-Saharan Africa, with the Sahel – one of the world’s poorest and most environmentally damaged regions – now gripped by jihadism, which is also seeping into the Horn of Africa to its east. And, as in Libya, civil wars are raging in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia, all of which increasingly look like failed states.
北非的暴力与动荡目前正在蔓延到撒哈拉以南非洲，撒舍尔——全世界最贫穷、环境破坏最严重的地区之一——已落入了圣战者的控制之中，此外他们还在向非洲之角渗透。而与利比亚一样，伊拉克、叙利亚、也门和索马里内战肆虐，朝着失败之国越陷越深。
