Extremely impressive work from my @TheSoufanCenter colleague @ClaraBroekaert for @ICCT_TheHague. This report draws from fresh data on terrorism-related deaths that identify there is a notable Middle-East-Africa terrorism nexus emerging.

A key finding: the hub terrorist activity has shifted from the Middle East to Sub-Saharan Africa. European and North America. Foreign terrorist fighters, however, have not descended upon the region as they did on the Levant after the establishment of the caliphate.

Former USCIRF Chairs @StephenSchneck & @NadineMaenza are right: The Hindu nationalist RSS helped make discrimination & violence against religious minorities mainstream in India. Its chief, Mohan Baghwat, should face accountability—not be given a platform to foment hatred.
