cross-border militancy

Cross-border militancy refers to militant activities, such as armed conflicts or terrorist actions, that originate in one country and extend into another, often involving non-state armed groups. These groups operate across national boundaries to pursue political, ideological, or religious objectives, exploiting border vulnerabilities. This phenomenon can complicate security and diplomatic relations, as it requires coordination between nations to address threats that transcend borders. Examples include insurgencies or terrorism originating in one country but impacting neighboring nations, often destabilizing regions and challenging law enforcement efforts.
