Marawi City, Mindanao - Hidden hand of the Islamic State announcing its presence in SE Asia.
Terrorism and insecurity in the southern region of The Philippines, particularly the province of Mindanao, is the leading domestic security challenge to the Duterte administration. As many domestic and foreign investors in industries common to the province such as Tourism and Mining have found. Commercial justifications for sustainable investments have been rendered close to zero when criminality and political violence have targeted their operations. As much as the acuteness of such threats is prone to fluctuation, with 2017 no exception, the need to understand and forecast potential spikes in destructive activities such as bombings, kidnappings, harassment, extortion or arson by local militant groups is constant.

Poverty and Commercial Kidnapping in Post Amnesty Niger Deltaijtsrd
This study takes a look at the relationship between poverty and the ever increasing spate of commercial kidnapping in the post amnesty Niger Delta region. Kidnapping for ransom peaked in the region in 2006 with increased activities of the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta MEND and other militant groups, prompting President Yar, Adua to prioritize Niger Delta issues in that Seven Points Agenda, which culminated in the granting of amnesty to repentant militants upon renunciation and return to obedience. In the attempt to answer the question on how poverty influences commercial kidnapping in the Niger Delta region this study deployed the relative deprivation theory as a tool of analysis. The nexus between poverty and commercial kidnapping was established as some other causative factors that influences the menace were noted, including poverty as the chief culprit, unemployment, drug addiction,, cultism and general insecurity in the area. The paper therefore recommended amongst others, poverty alleviation programmes, proactive community policing, expansion of the amnesty programme to accommodate non militant youths in the region and general socio economic and infrastructural development as a panacea for the reduction of crime and criminality.

CTP’s Threat Update series is a weekly update and assessment of the al Qaeda network. The al Qaeda network update includes detailed assessments of al Qaeda’s affiliates in Yemen, the Horn of Africa, and the Maghreb and Sahel.
Below are the top three takeaways from the week:
1. The members of al Qaeda’s affiliate network coordinate closely to produce strategic messaging. Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) released a joint statement calling for attacks on Jews on July 16. The statement is a response to Israel’s temporary closure of al Aqsa Mosque on July 14 after three Arab Israeli gunmen killed two Israeli policemen in Jerusalem. AQAP and AQIM likely use secure communications or embedded personnel to rapidly coordinate messaging.
2. Country-wide protests are challenging the Moroccan state. Protest movements are coalescing around shared grievances against Morocco’s security forces, as well as unemployment and underdevelopment. Organizers are planning a national protest for July 20. The protests’ focus on security forces, on which the state relies, signals a possible threat to King Mohammed VI’s power as he seeks to meet protesters’ demands after several failed attempts.
3. The UN is pursuing a plan to transfer control of Yemen’s al Hudaydah port from the al Houthi-Saleh faction to a neutral party as a first step to resuming stalled ceasefire talks. Al Hudaydah is the al Houthi-Saleh faction’s only port. The UN effort, mediated by China, is intended to prevent a Saudi-led coalition offensive to seize al Hudaydah, which will have dire humanitarian consequences. The al Houthi-Saleh faction is unlikely to support the transfer of the port through the UN, which it sees as biased toward Saudi Arabia.

ISS Risk Special Report - Executive Summary [March 2016]
The current security assessment being presented by the Malaysian government, tourist agencies, and foreign advisory committees are often conflicting and confusing, leading to a misunderstanding of the true situation being faced by the country. This report seeks to fill the informational gap that has been left by the competing interests by directly assessing the development and expansion of terrorism in Malaysia over the past 24 months. For analysts and long-term investors in Malaysia the current threat trajectory and its genuine implications must be understood.

Violent extremist threats in Central Africa have been on the rise in recent years. The Allied Democratic Forces, an Islamist rebel group, established increasing ideological, financial, and operational ties with the Islamic State. This association also reflects in ADF/ ISCAP's increasing rate of child recruitment and use. In this report, our fellow Guillaume Soto-Mayor offers in-depth insights into the ADF/ISCAP's trajectory, strategies, and potential impacts in Central Africa and raises awareness of the need to address child protection risks across the region.

In this analysis, our fellow Guillaume Soto-Mayor traces the trajectory of the ADF, and exposes firmly established ideological, financial, and operational links with the Islamic State.
An increase in the rate of child recruitment and use at the hands of ADF/ISCAP has significant implications. It coincides with the group's adoption of a Salafi-jihadi ideological stance, methods, and purposes of territorial expansionism and poses serious threats to the safety and rights of children and security in the region.

Differences Bbetween Tterrorism and Oorganized Ccrimes.
Terrorism refers to use of violence by a group of people so as to achieve a particular aim, which can be a political, ideological or religious objective. Organized crime relates to the groupings of highly organized criminal individuals so as to engage in illegal activities such as money laundering and drug trafficking. The main similarity between terrorism and organized crimes is that they both breach the rule of law. Their activities are also endangering the security of a nation and its citizens as it involves killing of people and other negative implications such as kidnapping. The differences is that for organized crimes group to succeed, they must be made up of extensive networks involving several individuals and professionals so as to enable their operations to run smoothly. On the other hand, the terrorist doesn't require extensive networks in order to propagate their actions. Organized criminals can also engage in activities that are carried out by terrorists. Terrorist, on the other hand, can get involved in the activities of organized crimes. Their aims are different, and these objectives can have different effects on them (Livingstone, 1982).
Possible Tterrorist Aattacks.
Terror attacks and threats are very rampant in America and its allies. The major security threat is al Qaeda and other Islamic militants like IS. These terror groups cause a lot of security challenges to American citizens and friends. Other organized groups that threatened the security include drug traffickers from Mexico. Symbol of al Qaeda is a flag with a gray image on the right side, and its background is a black rifle, fist, and Quran with a flag appear on top of this picture. Beneath there are Arabic writings translated into "monotheism and jihad". In this case, the identified terror group is al Qaeda, and they intend to attack Chicago and other cities in the US.
The terrorist group, in this case, is al-Qaeda, and its intention is to attack a major metropolitan city in America. This terrorist group is believed to be funded by Russian mafia group, and they intend to infiltrate some cells in Chicago and cause terror in the city. Their major aim is thought to be that they want to displace a major syndicate in the city. The geographical location of these criminals is Chicago city where they are believed to be hiding where Russian organized criminals want to take over illegal business carried out in the city such as gambling and prostitution. This terror group is under the command of their leader Alwani Abu Rayan, also known as Roberto ...

"With its dominant presence in Iraq and Syria, it is sometimes easy to discount the expansive scope of the Islamic State’s ambitions of a global caliphate. Our observations and research

With insurers eyeing the escalating ISIS-JMB complex, bankers speculating over sovereign ratings outlooks, and qualifying for the EU’s GSP-Plus status in 2021 still very suspect, the Garment Industry’s ‘risk radar’ needs to attune more to the impact of political risks than it has been to date. Line of sight on how political risks impact economic and financial-business risk is paramount for this export industry, for as Pakistan’s garment industry illustrated not too long ago, global market tolerance for supply chain disruption is gossamer at best.
With eight terrorist incidents in two weeks, the situation inside Bangladesh is tense. ISS Risk believes foreign companies operating in Bangladesh are currently facing unprecedented terrorism risks.

Existent Terrorism in Indonesia - September, 2016-1Robbie Van Kampen
In contrast to several countries with large Muslim populations within Asia and further afar, the Republic of Indonesia has remained a country relatively free of a religiously motivated
radical militant population. The environmental conditions that prevented such a significant shift towards radicalism – as have also been seen in other Islamic nations – included, but
were not limited to, an authoritarian government and strong Asian ethos and influence upon the practice of religion within the country. Both these pillars are helping in curtailing the
growth of radical or extreme Islamic ideological fundamentalism to date. The challenge facing Indonesia, as it is for many countries across the globe, is squarely one
of the growth of jihadism. Jihadism has experienced an evolution over the past four decades, not unlike many facets of globalisation under the auspices of modernity. Most certainly the strength of governmental authoritarianism has waned over recent decades within Indonesia as it modernises and liberalises; these „forces‟ in turn contribute, to a
degree, to the tempering of interpretations of Islam within Indonesia. Yet many of the changes have also helped to ensure that extremists remain on the margins of both its
religious and social society, they have also „allowed‟ for this sub-culture to germinate at its fringes, to inhabit an existence in the shadow of mainstream society and from there
potentially thrive. This ostracised, largely excluded element – albeit at its own behest – has existed for a long time in Indonesia. It has been carried along by the undercurrent of
radicalism found growing not just within Indonesia but currently across much of Southeast Asia. This phenomenon is what poses the newest and most challenging security threat to the
Indonesian people, their government, their sovereign integrity and the country‟s international investment profile.
At first
glance, this may seem counterintuitive, as there have been no attacks conducted by ISIS
within Myanmar, and very little attention directed towards the country by ISIS. With
significant international attention directed recently towards the plight of the Muslim Rohingya
population in Myanmar, this has begun to change, with several jihadist groups making public
denunciations of Myanmar, as well as encouraging the Rohingya to take up jihad to defend
their communities. At the time this report was being written (August 2016), Myanmar‟s star
stateswoman Aung San Suu Kyi‟s name had just been included on an assassination list sent
to a Malaysian police station by purported ISIS allegiants inside Malaysia.

Bangladesh: Sholakia attack, terrorism trajectory continues upwardsRobbie Van Kampen
ISS Risk's initial assessment of the most recent terrorist attack that took place in Bangladesh on the morning of 7 July, when the entire nation was celebrating Eid festival.

The attack and siege of the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka has left the world in no doubt that the militant situation in Bangladesh is worsening and not quite the „domestic problem‟ the government has been claiming or presenting it as. Islamic fundamentalists in Bangladesh are patently internationalising their agenda, with a desire to becoming part of something
much larger than local home grown terrorists. Several combat indicators support that this attack was long in the planning.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
