Africa is experiencing fewer wars than it did two decades ago but conflict, insecurity and the fragility of states is still a major concern for business. Politically motivated instability can be seen in countries like Burundi, South Sudan, Mali, eastern DRC, Libya and Somalia, while Nigeria and Kenya are dealing with terrorist activities.
