Despite some decline in countries such as Burkina Faso, sub-Saharan Africa remains at the global epicenter, with terrorism accounting for more than half of all deaths.India has shown improvement with a sharp decline in attacks, even as it remains among the worst-hit countries. Meanwhile, Western countries have seen an increase in politically motivated and lone-actor attacks.The report warned that worsening geopolitical tensions, including conflicts in South Asia, instability in the Sahel and renewed threats from groups such as IS, could reverse recent gains, making the decline potentially short-lived.
