Friday, 7 March 2025 () The Global Terrorism Index 2025 ranked Burkina Faso, Pakistan, Syria, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, Israel, Afghanistan, and Cameroon as the world's most terrorism-affected countries. Burkina Faso remained the worst-hit, while Niger saw the largest rise in fatalities. Terrorist groups like Boko Haram, ISIS, and Al-Shabaab continued to escalate violence, targeting civilians and security forces.
