Résumé
L’avancée et la propagation du terrorisme dans le monde entier ont été accentuées par le rôle important joué par la finance. Les organisations terroristes ne survivront pas longtemps sans finances, car le terrorisme est une entreprise coûteuse qui doit être alimentée en permanence, car les terroristes d’antan comptaient sur des instruments archaïques tels que des dagues et des couteaux faciles à trouver, mais les terroristes d’aujourd’hui ont souvent besoin d’armes plus sophistiquées pour leurs opérations. Les organisations terroristes ont également besoin d’argent pour gérer leurs camps, nourrir leurs membres et planifier et mener des attaques sur leurs cibles. La suppression de la source du financement du terrorisme ne permettra peut-être pas d’éradiquer complètement ce phénomène, mais elle pourrait affecter la fréquence et l’ampleur des attaques perpétrées par des groupes terroristes. Cet article analyse le rôle de la finance dans les activités des organisations terroristes en mettant l’accent sur le groupe terroriste Boko Haram au Nigéria et les tentatives du gouvernement nigérian d’endiguer, par des moyens légaux, les activités de ce groupe et de groupes similaires. S’appuyant sur des sources doctrinales, l’article conclut qu’il reste encore beaucoup à faire pour efficacement couper les différentes sources de financement ouvertes aux organisations terroristes au Nigéria.
