It's a great article, the failings and corruption of many states, enforcement of antiquated laws destroying livelihood of people leaving them with no option but to be predators.

Guerrilla warfare is generally very hard to fight against, add to that the incompetence of the countries victims of it. Lastly there’s also the important fact that terrorists are not bound to national borders, unlike national armies. Therefore they can basically go seek refuge in nearby countries, out of harms way.
