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
Vox make a video on Kashmir
make a video on Zoroastrians and why they left Persia
No mention of Mozambique? No mention of Madagascar? Islamism has nothing to do with poverty. Consult experts next time.
Northern Nigeria is NOT marginalized. How can a group be marginalized when they've held power the longest???
This is not saying that islamist terrorism causes poverty, but vice versa, extreme poverty in places close to areas already inhabited by ISIS and Alqaeda that have power vacumes are hot spots for this kind of thing (H)

I need more vox atlas and borders
Especially borders
Borders is coming soon
I personally prefer Atlas
especially atlas
Atlas is animated and informative
Borders show in reality
Vox putting out banger after banger. Keep the flame coming.
Better content than VICE
like as if they are dropping a mixtape?
weird to call short documentaries on terrorist groups ‘bangers’
Vox always speaks the truth. Except when it comes to Trump, then they're lying traitors.
I AM A SUBSCRIBER OF YOURS. I SEE YOU EVERYWHERE.
"the group focused on the Chad region"
That's it. They are done. Boko Haram is no more.
But there are other groups as well as dictators

Yet another incredible and informative video! 🙏🏽 and your editing and graphics use inspires me
Its a collective work not just a single person
jay fawn who said it wasn't? Your was used to reference Vox as a company, not a person.
Anthony Perez Still wonder how they can do this almost every day
Not to forget the accompanying musical score. Sets the right tone for each episode.
Anthony Perez how they create it, with which software
I live in Nigeria. Although informative, this was also disheartening to watch. Humanity is better than this, I know it.
we have no allies sister, just each other
Stay safe hopefully things don’t get too out of hand
How is doing IS in Africa?
I think terrorists see africa as an easy target, but Africa will rise up, africa is very strong :)
Obviously tomi😁😁😁😁
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
No it is just in these regions
Yea but some African countries have other problems such as corruption,civil wars,poverty just pray
Yes because of europe and usa africa poor now and also the war is just reaction from muslims to french and england
Yes we should all pray to the invisible man in the sky
Now Afghanistan
Vox atlas is my most fav series
Goat T lol It's new
james malik Aitken no its not, idk why it says S1 Ep1 in the recomended there is ep2 and its old
Not borders?
Probably because it is the most objective and factual. The focus on communicating the facts through effective visual representation, and don't inject views or opinions on what should be done. This is how I wish everybody, including Vox, consistently reported the news.
This video looks like a promo video you would see from a call of duty game.
But real talk, well done Vox, your videos make me want to learn animation :)
Yep, if taken out of context, it would look legit
yo it's you again 👋, I saw the comments from your post in the yesterday's Vox YT video.
It was crazy, I scrolled the entire replies.
Jason Rodriguez hey hey! Yeah I had to stop replying back. Lol
The quality and information of the Vox Atlas series is superb, keep it coming!
The weird part about boko haram is that even though it's an Islamists group most victims are muslims
They are just using it to advance their criminal agenda.
Most Islamist or radical Muslim groups have more a political than a religious ideology, they call themselves Muslim but go completely against the teachings of Muhammad ﷺ and the Quran and Sunnah
But yet the world doesn't want to understand this.
@@phiteb I don’t think so it’s pretty well known they attack the more moderate muslims. Mostly don’t attack Christians on a large scale because usually a first world country will get involved especially if it use to be a colony.
How ironic
The Onion put it pretty well: "Situation in Nigeria seems pretty complex."
I think thats because of all the factors involved
I guess that's the joke. It isn't complex. It's just muslims being muslims and everyone else having to suffer.
I feel bad for your editors, they make amazing videos day after day, that's a lot of pressure!
The background music is so dope.
True name please

It's the Atlas series that keeps Sam Ellis staunchly in the upper tier of Vox editors. These videos are incredibly informative, engaging, and professional.
The peoples of Africa are suffering dearly due to this guys... The west needs to intervene, but not militarily, like Vox said, they need to stabilize the region, so they can kick the terrorist out.
Not militarily lol. Just kindly ask the terrorists to stop implementing sharia law and oppressing people. I'm sure they'll listen.
Radical Kekistani freedom fighter Military intervention has only made the problem worse in the past, why do you think that it will work now all of the sudden?
Stabilizing countries to get rid of low income areas and get a better economy will eventually defeat terrorism.
Not militarily.....kick the terrorists out.
You can't have one without the other.
are you suggesting western powers re-colonialize africa?
Radical Kekistani freedom fighter By stabilizing the region, aka opposing economic neo-colonialism and other corporations supporting private militiad in the region
this is the type of video i subscribed for, these types of videos are so much better than any one where they put their political viewpoints on it
Very informative and well made. These videos are super interesting and it's great that you guys are reporting on subjects that the mainstream media tends to ignore.
Vox infographic game is on point!! lfavourite channel on youtube hands down thanks for keeping the content fresh guys
Thank you Vox, nice to see your Atlas series covering much about the "new African problem". I grew up in Northern Nigeria (and Live in Nigeria) and can tell you that Corrupt politicians and Bad Governance and Ethno-Religious stand of Northern Nigeria have had more hand in this problem than ISIS/Islamic State. Boko Haram, in fact, started out as thugs loyal to the Borno State Governor (1999-2007).
I love these sorts of episodes! They are entertaining, yet informative, whenever I see one I click on it so fast!
Thank you Vox for all the videos. I always have had interest in world politics and history and just loving all your videos
Meanwhile on other part of the world people are complaing about manspreading.🤐
Yeah
Tamils are underrated and best
@@unapologetic7291💩
A very good and informative video, although I think you misplaced it in the playlist as Vox Atlas S1 E1, when it should have been Vox Atlas S2 E1 or S1 E8.
Edit: ok, u have changed it ty.
It absolutely breaks my heart that the places where people are dying of starvation and disease is where now even more people are dying of violence. It really gives me a perspective on our own seemingly trivial troubles and makes me be thankful for what I have.

Wow what an episode! Man Vox you guys are honestly the best! Thank you for the video, very informative, Borders and Atlas are both just incredible!
I last summer I went back to my home country Ethiopia and when we got to the air port 100 or more people who migrated from Somalia came to Ethiopia for a better life and to get away from the violence I felt really bad for the people doe because they had nothing except the cloth they were wearing and there were alot of children too. I really hope that all of them are doing well and have changed their lifes around for better.
@አደዳይ ኣባይ ፩፫ The war was betwen TPLF terrorist group trying to stay in power with the West backing them against the Ethiopian current ruling party and its affiliates. It is over now if you haven't noticed.

@Vox what is the audio track you used for this video? It's great! Good job and research btw.
😣😢😥😩 Thanks to Vox for bringing this up!
No matter how bad my day goes, it's immediately better when Vox puts out a new Atlas!
what is the background song of the intro
i am too looking for the same
The background music creates a hypnotic mood for the entire video. Well done!
Great video although it misses out a crucial part of the story. Rather than starting in 2015 Nigeria, they should have started in 2011 Libya where the NATO backed destruction of state institutions in Libya led to a proliferation of arms across North and West Africa (and indeed into Syria via flights packed with militants in to Turkey)
AlJalandhari are you *muslim*
My brother
AlJalandhari NATO didn't destabilize Libya, Qaddafi did all that by himself. Never mind that most of the arms left by the regime were taken by the groups fighting in Libya
Mark Oliver Walsh
>implying the west didn't play a pivotal role in toppling Gaddafi
I mean, he was a brutal autocrat, but now they have literal slavery, so it was probably a bad call.
Charles Robb dude Gaddafi quite literally said that he would commit genocide lmao
Makoto Shishio imagine unironically defending someone as genocidal and imperialist as Gaddafi just because he hated the US
hi Vox....always a fan of your work........can you please tell me the background music in the intro and the end credits....please...its really good
Wow this is scary. What's scarier is it's been going on for ten years and I had no idea it was happening.
The last line was so true it gave me goosebumps.. Vox is epic as always.
None of this would’ve happened if only Libya was left alone in 2011. A strong Libya had its neighbors in check.
Alan thanks Obama
HitMeQuick what problems before 2011 regrading ISIS in Africa? That’s all recent. Libya was one of the most peaceful countries on earth with a booming economy. + It kept its neighbors in check when it came to migration and ISIS.
Alan Oh and you missed the part where It was also an authoritarian state run by a corrupt violent dictator that ruled his people with an iron fist and didn't tolerate any dissent.
The Rambler That's what they want you to belive. Do your own independent research on Libya during Gaddafi's reign. From all sources not just the biased Americans.
Drain the swamp is the easiest answer. Remove all the useless lifeless corrupts in Washington like what Trump is doing.
Badass background music by VOX in the start and the end.
Please use this music more guys.
Create a follow up on the issue sometime this year please
I knew nothing about this, many thanks for giving me the information
Great video guys! Just to point out, there is an islamic insurgency gaining shape in Mozambique that could have been included here. It is not just the arabaphied Sahel. Keep up the great work!
What editor does vox use to create map presentations asking for a friend
vox's quality of videos is absolutely insane
What we need is an overwhelming and undying presence, and combination of diplomatic based, humanitarian aid, and peacekeeping/defending human rights and freedoms, for the people of these African nations who have been left for dead, it's the only way to slow the migrant and humanitarian crisis while creating strong allies at the same time
Na, the western countries will never do something for free, even if they do go to Africa they will take gold and other resources as payment or something
I'm studying Political Science and Internacional Affairs and Vox gives me so much crucial information for my subjects, it's crazy
Rule No. 1 Bribes work more than reasoning 90% of the time, the US is buying its way in Turkey with measly little $20B to allow Sweden to join NATO, in Sudan Russia got it's naval base near the Red Sea by bribing the military chief who runs the country for $2B.
Lesson to learn: Corruption most of the time always wins, it is easy to manipulate someone with big check syndrome
Poverty is worst form of violence
"Mahatma Gandhi"
This is not issue of poverty...it's a ideology that only we are true Muslim and others are infidels and apostates..... democracy is system of kafirs....it very dangerous
Violence by whom?
Muslims problem to everyone
The background music plzzzzz..... the one towards the beginning and towards the end .. the music listed in end credits doesn't turn up the same when googled...and shazzam fails to recognize the tone ... thus plz help...actual name of the bg score used @5:16 and in the beginning!

The religion of peace being peaceful
Let's just not make that stereotypical assumptions
@@Nottotti-eg9nf Or maybe because of this
[Fight the ones who do not believe in Allah nor in the Last Day, and do not prohibit whatever Allah and His Messenger have prohibited, and do not practice (Literally: to have as a religion) the religion of Truth-from among the ones to whom the Book was brought-until they give the tax out of hand (i.e., by a ready money payment, or in token of submission) and have been subdued..]
@@Nottotti-eg9nf And this [Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah.If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them.] literally islamic apartheid and warmongering
@@Nottotti-eg9nf And this :[Khaibar shall face destruction. When we descend in the city-square of a people, it is a bad day for them who have been warned (and have not taken heed). He said these words thrice. The people of the town had just come out from (their houses) to go about their jobs. They said (in surprise): Muhammad has come. We captured Khaibar by force.]
@@Nottotti-eg9nf And this :)
[Umar expelled the Jews and the Christians from Hijaz. When Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had conquered Khaibar, he wanted to expel the Jews from it as its land became the property of Allah, His Apostle, and the Muslims.]
Basically Muhammad did the same as what's happening to Palestine, Orang Asli etc

@@itzikashemtov6045 oh
This info was a great baseline to someone who has never understood, or cared to know about the problem set (ie. my peers/coworkers). Does anyone have a copy or link to the indy song/music at the beginning of this video? It really made me think of the video throughout today. I've been on the continent before and I can't help but wonder if the regional nation will ever see peace...:(
Wow, thank you for explaining the situation
Such an informative video, so detailed and emotive
When this voice is heard, you know it’s going to be informative.
Very informative, thank you.
I love Vox Atlas & border series 👏
seems like the key is to help the sub saharan economies develop and industrialise. this will in turn alleviate poverty and strengthen the central government enough so that they can deal with the terrorists at a local level. military intervention from western nations is just a temporary stop gap measure. marawi in the Philippines is a good example, a strong national government and armed force dealt with the problem all by themselves with minimal foreign non combat support

Don´t agree with everything you post, but this was amazing right here
It amazes me how these groups get their weaponry and communications equipment and I seldom find that being discussed. We just leave the discussion at poverty and that being the reason for recruiting.
Can you believe drawing a simple line in the middle east and africa caused this many death?
Same way how Mexican cartels get all their gear and weaponry, same way ISIS gets its gear and weaponry, they get support from foreign nations (secret secret stuff) but often fail due to clashing ideologies
