The Houthis is a Zaidi Shia-led movement in northern Yemen. In 2014–2015 Houthis took over the government in Sana'a, which led to the fall of the Saudi Arabian-backed government of Abd Rabbuh Mansur Hadi.

Boko Haram is an Islamic terrorist group based in northeastern Nigeria, also active in Chad, Niger and northern Cameroon. The group had alleged links to al-Qaeda, but in 2015, it announced its allegiance to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

Al Shabaab is al Qaeda's affiliate in Somalia and operates primarily out of the country's southern and central regions. The group is fighting an insurgency against the internationally recognized Somali Federal Government
