Terrorism in Africa

[Victan22]

    Terrorism in many parts of Africa as it seems has turned into normality as it doesn't bother African leaders simply because they are riding with bullet proof cars and security aids.
   Negligence of African leaders in eradicating insecurity simply means that, they are either the sponsors of insecurity or their western pay masters are the sponsors.

Great minds, who do you think is behind the killings in African region?
Should we blame just African leaders or the western block.

Terrorism is a separate sector that can never be fully understood. The least you can expect from it is to be surprised when the unexpected occurs in them. Terrorism is just used to cover up crimes, corruption, and plunder of public monies. Terrorism can be controlled and stopped, but those who have the ability to do so are often culpable for it, and the few who are not involved and have the ability to stop it are being threatened with their lives and the lives of their families as a result. This is not the time to assign blame because it is impossible to determine who is to blame for terrorism.

Terrorism is happening world over and not just Africa and yes it's usually a result of selfish and greedy leaders/rulers or external powers that look to control a certain region maybe because there is what they want like minerals. To control such places, they fund terrorist to cause chaos and then later send "peacekeepers" who are in actual sense the real looters.

Take an example of what happened in Kuwait, Iraq, Afghanistan, Congo etc

[Gozie51]

Terrorism is a global phenomenon and not just an African issue but the problem with the African situation is that they lack adequate weaponry gadgets to take on the terrorist and that makes the challenge worse. When terrorist have more mechinery to fight the government , it means whatever effort made will be defeated.  However, somehow there could be external forces in the African struggle because of market for their weaponry.

[Hispo]

I do not think terrorism is something which exclusively happens in Africa, actually, most of the worst acts of terror I can think of and remember by memory did not have anything to do with Africa or people from Africa.

However, I won't deny there are terrorist cells in the continent, being one which I recall the Boko Haram group which operates in eastern Nigeria. I personally think that the national Leaders of each African country which unfortunately is dealing with terrorism have more responsibility than some western country could possibly have on the existence of radical cells in Africa or anywhere else.

Humans are terrorized by their fellow humans, sometimes it is the fault of the government for leaving such insecurities without attending to them before it begins to cost the life and properties of other of their citizens. Blame the leaders for negligence and trying not to make good policies that will reduce the number of people orchestrating the terror by either putting them in prison or putting them in offices to work responsibly for money instead of idly causing havoc and terror for their gain.

The causes of terrorism in Africa are not easy to identify or generalize, as they vary depending on the context, history, and motivations of each group and situation. It is not fair or accurate to blame just African leaders or the western bloc for the killings in the African region. Terrorism is a multifaceted and multidimensional problem that requires a comprehensive and coordinated response from all stakeholders at the local, national, regional, and international levels.

[Kavelj22]

We must define a concept of terrorism in order to be able to discuss it. Unfortunately, the absence of a clear definition of terrorism is the pretext on the basis of which each party issues its own definition and acts on the basis of it. And this is what is happening in Africa, as it is happening anywhere in the world. There is no clear definition of terrorism, and each party supports or opposes terrorism according to its own concept. Let us take the Boko Haram group that operates between Mali and Niger as an example. At a time when the whole world considers it a terrorist group, including the local authorities in Mali and Niger, this group has a popular support on the grounds that it is a group that is resistant to the corrupt in the two countries and against the foreign presence because it targets Foreign companies that steal the resources of the two countries, in addition to those who are believed to defend the rules of the Islamic religion.

Africa is considered the most affected because terrorism in its various concepts finds a good popular incubator for it. It feeds on people's ignorance and their easy mobilization under religious, ethnic or ideological cover. What is happening in Sudan today is the biggest proof of that.

The problem with defining a clear definition of terrorism is that it may affect the activities of major countries that could be condemned according to the same definition.

Terrorism is in human nature and it is carried out by repels based on they don't like the present government. Some people take advantage of their position in government,due to greed they will setup a team to start terrorising the country,so that it will look as if the citizens are the ones that are against the government.

 From what I see,this terrorist have top government officials that sponsors them and directs them on what to do. Some even go at length to give them informations on how to attack the government. Terrorism is a worldwide problem and not only in Africa.

Tourism is a people's means to life and wealth. Its one of the major sources for Dubai's wealth as they've invested deep in the system.

The continents are shaped differently and have got unique features and landscape hence, a need for exploitation by those who desire beauty ina nature and what the land has to offer. Africa is no exception to these opportunities to amass wealth and develop its nations.
We've got unique features that would be worth seeing and weather conditions that are worth experiencing.

This stresses the reason as to why there is a need for security across the plans and heels of the African landscape. The rise of terrorism amongst its people of both low, middle and high class paying a role to safeguard interest amidst other benefits by influencing the decision of its government has eaten dip into the fabric of African society.

This shouldn't be the case, given that, its a developing part of a new world and should incorporate within itself values to build with existing developmental tools to arch the edges of a more and attractive world with the available resource. Other nations are archiving it and with less corruption plus more anti terrorism move, Africa can archive that too.
A secured environment promotes development and could promote other neglected means or not so patronised means to generating funds such a tourism within the African plans for a number of nations.

My guy, its Terrorism the Op is talking about not tourism. know the two conceerts first, there not even close in meaning. always read a thread before contributing.

terrorism has taken over the world, especially in Africa and Arabia nations. they have destoyed all source of revenus.The are dangerious to national unity and peace. most of these group are form base of religion sentiment and through agitation. like in Nigeria, the Boko haram as terrorist group has killed so many lifes, they are religion base terrorist group. They were formed by top notible men in the country who uses them for their political and seflish guy.

Terrorism, must be deal with any one found funding these group should be brought to book. thats the only way to reduce these group in the world.

There are many reasons for the increase in terrorist activities in Africa. I will mention and deal with three of them.

Politics: in my country most opposition parties sponsor terrorist activities to discredit the ruling party. They want the populace to believe that the government in power can not protect lives and properties. They also use it to destabilize the country so that other sectors like the economy, education, and others will suffer. Investors will not come to an insecure country which means there will be unemployment and less revenue. The ruling party could also sponsor terrorist groups to silence opposition. They are mainly used to intimidate, kidnap and sometimes eliminate opposition figures.

Tribal and religious sentiments: Some of the terrorist groups in Africa either have a religious or tribal undertone. Some tribes form these groups to attack other tribes or to defend themselves from the aggression of other tribes. The major cause of terrorism in my country is religion. Some religious fanatics come up with extremist ideologies that promote violence against other religions. They destroy schools, places of worship because their teachings are against peaceful coexistence.

Western influence: Some selfish Western powers promote instability by sponsoring terrorist groups. If the Western-backed multinationals feel that the government in power is enacting unfriendly policies, they will seek means to dethrone them, which include sponsoring terrorist groups. The recent instability in Libya is the design of world powers to destroy a fearless Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. This singular act by the West has led to an increase in terrorist activities in Africa.

Terrorism can be used as a tool by citizens of a nation to oppose or topple a government that they don't like or that doesn't support them. They use the act of terrorism to give the country a bad image to the outside world.

Terrorists can be found on other continents as well as in African nations. Terrorists primarily arise when a nation's government refuses to give its youth enough work, has no money in circulation for its inhabitants, and has no means of subsistence for its citizens. This outcome may cause the citizenry to turn against their political leaders, making their mantle of leadership ungovernable

[EluguHcman]

When you give yourself to be used, your user has not to be blamed but yourself for meaning submissive to be used.

How long do you have to realize you being used as a factor and as a branch to create wave of resources to somebody else out there?

Honestly, African leaders and it's citizens are to be blamed.

Fool me once I am blaming you for breaking my trust in you but fooling me twice is a huge blame to myself for trusting you again and again yet I gets fooled.

Insecurities is very common to almost all part of the world and most of this could be attributed to the actions and inactions of our leaders in political settings, there are sponsors discovered behind some of this terrorism happening around the world controlled by the same governments official who sponsors them by providing terrorist with the required weapons and also fund them for their illicit activities, not only in Africa this is common but we can as well find people involved in terrorism at any part of the world beyond Africa.

Great minds, who do you think is behind the killings in African region?

If there's terrorism of this happening, it's either the people were agitating for a demand from their government or they country is being invaded by sponsored terrorist to the country by their politicians using such to play their dirty political games and power tussles.

Should we blame just African leaders or the western block.

Both government and the people are responsible, if the people rejects offers from political authorities to invade a terror act there won't be crisis in the society.

I already sent the user PM 24hours ago to check the post he made misplacing the content of his contribution with terrorism to tourism. They are not the same thing, hopefully he knows that.

Edit: I guess the user has made adjustment to his post.

Anyway, to fight terrorism is difficult because government can not fight itself. It is the government officials that fight themselves because they bring those groups to distort and make a government they don't support ungovernable and when they want those groups to surrender or repent from the assignment, that becomes an issue of its own. Those groups see it as a source to make ransom and continuous intimidation of successive governments. Therefore to fight terrorism, the government must ensure there are no proliferation of arms and seizure of those arms found.

The only people who can put an end to this terrorism are the African leaders since, as Ndabagi01 stated, they are the root of the problem.
They primarily commit acts of terrorism in order to obtain items unlawfully and also as a result of corruption.

When you have leaders that don't really care for their people, then that's not really a problem to them and when they can just sleep in their bed peacefully with their wealth secured from those people, they don't seem to bothered. But when they have their own plan just after they get the position, surely there will be positive progress every day. Not only that, but they also fix everything in their community whichever the problem was. The people should consider carefully choosing their leader when a new election comes and preferably the right one should be already working to fix the problem even though he is not in the position yet.

The people know the right candidates to election in an electioneering season and those are the people they go for but the problem is that those corrupt politicians always manipulate the umpire and get thugs to do bidding of carry ballot boxes to go rig themselves in with the umpire  This is really sad because you keep getting and recircling bad eggs in government. These politicians deadly and dangerous, they will kill anybody on their way and that is why those good candidates can't get there easily even when the masses actually vote them in. Until this kind of situation begin to change, terrorism may still continue in Africa.

Politics is a dirty game and these politicians can go at any length to get what they want even if it is to kill,they are ready to do it. They are so ambitious about their political career and they forget about the destruction that it can bring upon the citizens and the country's economy.

I see these politicians in Africa as vampires who will suck and drain your blood by any means necessary just to achieve their goal. Terrorist, sometimes are against the government but instead of facing the government,they will start attacking innocent citizens as if the citizens are the cause of the problem. Terrorism shouldn't be encouraged no matter how bad the government system is because it is the innocent citizens that will suffer it and not the bad leaders.
