Scouring the deserts and highlands of present and future terrorists in the
troubled, war-torn region that comprises Yemen, the Sudan, Ethiopia,
Eritrea, Djibouti, Kenya, and Somalia demands urgent, skillful, measures
that are as much social, economic, and political as they must be military.
Several WPF publications tackle the subject of terrorism in this dangerous,
often-forgotten region.

This new book, edited by World Peace Foundation President Robert I.
Rotberg, is a handbook on what needs to be done at the tension-filled
crossroads of Arabia and Africa. Separate chapters by regional experts
analyze each country individually and as part of a larger region, revealing
what each country is (or isn't) doing to stop the spread of terrorism.
Contributors include Robert D.
Burrowes (University of Washington), Timothy Carney (former U.S. ambassador
to Sudan), Johnnie Carson (former ambassador to Kenya), Dan Connell
(Grassroots International), Kenneth J. Menkhaus (Davidson College),
Lange Schermerhorn (former ambassador to Djibouti), and David Shinn (former
ambassador to Ethiopia).
