• The following are two illustrations of how the results of my work directly impacted people on the ground in cities from Cairo to Manama, Ramallah to Beirut and Lagos to Mombasa. o While doing research for a client with operations in Mali, I came across intelligence that jihadists were moving in on the border of Southern Mali which could be a threat to my client’s operations in the south. I immediately alerted our client of the situation, urging them to limit their activities to Mali’s capital, Bamako. I also mapped out the cities I believed most likely to be attacked. The next day, the jihadist group I had identified launched an invasion across the border into the south. o By monitoring numerous websites to observe increased “chatter,” I discovered an incident in Abuja, Nigeria, before news media had reported it. I was able to confirm the situation through a ground source and alert my clients to avoid a potentially dangerous situation.
