Algeria still has significant numbers of domestic Islamist terrorists with an anti-régime focus, overseas battle experience and, in some cases, a proven maritime capability. Algiers is a ‘prestige’ location, as the capital, so is at greater threat than other Algerian ports. |

All ports suffer from widespread violence, ethnic tensions, inadequate/corrupt security forces and general criminality. In the Warri region there are serious political tensions to do with the perceived unfair exploitation of local oil resources. This has led to violent, ruthless and well-armed attacks against Government and foreign assets. Maritime theft and piracy is ambitious in scope, ruthless and unlikely to recede soon. |

An extraordinarily unstable country because of social breakdown, political tensions, lack of effective Government, the proliferation of weapons, and the presence of violent warlords. The widespread inter-clan fighting adds to the instability. Heavy usage of qat renders contact with Somalis ashore unpredictable. |
