About the book

A fascinating examination of the efforts by international jihadists to bring about their grand vision of Islamist hegemony in the greater Horn of Africa region, which began with the collaboration between Al Qaeda and the National Islamic Front government of Sudan. Dr Pirio demonstrates how a faction within Somalia's Islamic Courts movement with historic ties to Al Qaeda came to dominate the Islamic Court's movement and threaten wider regional insecurity and the expansion of the Middle East conflict into Africa.
