Summary/Abstract: Hezbollah is one of the greatest threats to Africa, especially to Nigeria, not because they are planning to attack targeted regions of the continent, but they are also liable to give support to dangerous extremist groups. In this article, we mainly focus on suicide bombers of Hezbollah and Boko Haram. Furthermore, we examine the relationship and possible cooperation between these two terrorist groups.
