For decades, security in Africa was measured by the number of soldiers deployed, checkpoints established, or weapons acquired.

A different battlefield is emerging, terrorists, kidnappers and criminal networks increasingly depend on bank accounts, digital platforms and financial networks that stretch across multiple countries. The latest Nigeria-UK partnership against terrorism financing and cybercrime suggests that future security victories may be won as much through intelligence, technology and financial investigations as through military operations.

In my latest analysis, I examine what this agreement means for Nigeria, why the rest of Africa should pay attention, and how the continent's next security challenge may be unfolding not in forests or deserts, but in cyberspace.
