The Sahel continues to be the region with the most terrorist violence, with Burkina Faso again being the country with the most killings, while Niger shot from 10th to fifth-worst in the world, according to the 2025 Global Terrorism Index (GTI).

The region accounted for over half of all deaths from terrorism in 2024 and 19% of all attacks, according to the GTI report, published by the Sydney, Australia-based Institute for Economics & Peace.

Despite a drop in terrorist violence in Burkina Faso, it was the country most prone to such violence for the second straight year, reflecting its steep deterioration since its rank of 114th in 2011.

So basically, Islam is responsible for most global terrorism, though I notice Boko haram and the Taliban have been knocked out of the top spots recently.

The four terrorist groups responsible for the most deaths in 2024 were Islamic State, Jamaat Nusrat Al-Islam wal Muslimeen, Tehrek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Al-Shabaab. These four groups were responsible for 4,204 terrorism deaths, or 80% of those attributed to a specific group.
