The project “Drones as Weapons in Armed Conflicts” investigates how the military use of drones influences the strategies of non-state armed groups in Africa, such as al-Shabaab or ISWAP (Islamic State West Africa). The goal is to identify policy options to limit proliferation through national, regional and international arms control instruments. To achieve this, the project team is conducting interviews with experts on these armed groups and stakeholders from the respective countries and regions.
