This ICCT situation report is the third in a wider series of papers exploring the use of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SAWL) as a source of terrorism financing. It examines the acquisition, possession, and use of SALW by terrorist organisations active in West Africa and the Horn of Africa. The report also investigates the extent to which SALW may represent a direct source of funding and/or an enabler to conduct other profit-making activities for these groups. While presenting an overview of the situation and dynamics at work across each area, the analysis aims to identify potential common patterns and/or discrepancies among and within the two regions.
