Abstract: 

As a staging ground for terror attacks in Europe, the Islamic State's (ISIS) African capital in Sirte, Libya, had significant strategic value. The coastal city was also the crossroads for terrorists and recruits from Tunisia, the rest of North Africa and the countries of the Sahel. Now, as ISIS is pushed out, a new base of operations has likely moved south.
