dc.description	This article will examine and evaluate the potential threat of maritime terrorism in<br />Africa, in particular the threat posed at present off the Somali coast. Africa’s porous<br />borders have provided an ideal conduit for the export of terrorism on land, and now<br />its unguarded coastlines are a potential new thoroughfare for maritime terrorists to<br />operate at sea. In Africa, the threat to maritime security and the proliferating threat<br />of ungoverned spaces have lethally combined to spawn the major threat of piracy<br />and now also the potential threat of maritime terrorism off the insecure coastline of<br />Somalia. At the time of writing, the security threats and challenges posed by the<br />rapid proliferation of piracy remains, and have continued to be so throughout 2009.<br />As of recent, maritime experts observe that the waters off the coast of Somalia and<br />the Gulf of Aden have emerged as the most dangerous zones for seafarers.
