In most countries affected by conflict, namely Africa and the Middle East, young people represent more than half the population. According to the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team of the 1267/1989 Al-Qaida Sanctions Committee, the majority of foreign terrorist fighters recruited by ISIS and Al-Nusrah Front are young people.
