Terrorism in Africa

[DeathAngel]

The issue of violence in Africa is complex & can’t be attributed to one factor. It is influenced by a combination of historical, political, social & economic factors. While some African leaders may bear responsibility for their actions, it’s not fair to solely blame them. The legacy of colonisation, resource exploitation, poverty, inequality & ethnic tensions play significant roles. It’s important to approach the issue with open minds & understanding, recognising the multiple factors at play & working towards sustainable solutions that address the root causes of violence in Africa.

African governments should be more vocal in countering terrorism.  I never consider leaders to be good leaders if they drive around in bulletproof cars and protect themselves from terrorism and think there is no need to take any further action.  Because a leader should think about the people of the country before himself and should be concerned about the safety of the people.  It is very disappointing for a country whose leaders only care about their own security.

It look like there is more terrorism in Africa compared to other continent in the world. The major problem in Africa is bad government and there has been a problem to the continent making the people to suffer unreasonably and the politicians only cares about there pocket only leaving the masses to wander around for food and how to feed there family.
If terrorism in Africa can be tackled, it will help the whole continent.

Terrorism is a global threat to peaceful existence, so it's not exclusive to African countries, but the evil is being perpetrated especially in some regions of the world. One fact about terrorism is that there are powerful individuals and organizations that benefits from the killings and destructions by these terrorists, because I know that the arms and amunitions that they use can not be afforded by ordinary people, although I can't think of anything good that they might gain or be advocating for their wicked act. Developed nations like the US and Britain, can fight these criminals but African countries and parts of Asia, that are developing countries, don't have the capacity needed to combat terrorism, coupled with the corruptions in their systems, makes terrorism to be thriving in parts of their counties.

    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.

What you said is true, many government officials create this terrorism temporarily to indict there perceive opponent or an avenue for more funds to be voted to their office, in African countries military heads sabotage the struggle for the fight of this terrorism of a thing, when there is a terror attack in a country I think that it is the work of the joint task force to identify the cause of this attack and make sure that it doesn't reoccur but in African is not like that what happens is that the military head connived with each other to make sure that the government vote in money for them so that they can embezzled the money and tag it money for the purchase of ammunition, things has to be right and the only way is by fishing out bad people in governance.

Any leaders that is protecting himself and his family with bulletproof to allow his or her followers not to have the same thing to protect themselves are bad leaders and, it will be difficult for such country to enjoy good security from their country.

 If the Africa leaders are ready to end the insecurity that is rocking the Africa, it will be very easy for them to do it to end insecurity but some countries on the Africa are using it as a political business to sustain political position that will make them continue making money from the illegal way.

I strongly believe Our leaders are the sponsors of this insecurity and ravaging terrorism.They pay and also send foods and arsenals for this Killers.
Even the Arsenals used by this Terrorist are not found in the hands of the Military
This is a whole topic that keep reoccurring in the African system....since there family are living in Overseas they are not concerned about the lives of there people

[Perosky1984]

Terrorism in Africa has to be condemned by every organ of the government, religious leaders and even the masses. This shouldnt just be a verbal condemnation but it should encompasses strigent actions and penalty of death against perpetrators of such disastrous act. If we continue to keep quite without a definite action, we might become victims. Our relatives and love ones might fall prey to the hands of this evil men. Government at all level must show the political will to combat terrorrism. In Nigeria you will see a situation where military men will be overpowered by this terrorist with more sophisticated weapons. That shows that government who fails to equip the military has not shown the political will to fight the terrorist. Another factor that is causing terrorism to strive in Africa is religious factor. Some of this terrorist they came up with the notion that they are fighting for the emancipation of certain religion. Therefore those people who belongs to such religion does not see anything wrong with global terrorism, rather they see those terrorist as their heros. From the day religious leaders and the masses begin to denounce such notions of terrorist fighting for our religion then Africa will be a better place. Stop serving a God that you have to fight and kill innocent souls for Him to exist. Rather serve a God that will fight and kill your enemies for you to exist. Africa leaders should do everything to reduce the volume of poverty among their citizens. Because they say an idle mind is the devil workshop. A terrorist who has killed more than 100 innocent soul  then the government will organise amnesty for them and reintegrate them back to the society. But an armed robber who is caught will be sentenced to death. So these terrorist they belief that no matter what they do the government is still willing to incooperate them back into the society.

It doesn't just happen in Africa alone, in every part of the world there is always these set of people who are known for terrorism, some will slightly call it gangs from there it grows into a larger gang full of terrorist busy terrorizing the peace of people in the country.
The government most of the times has an involvement in such act cause I believe these people can easily by all means be wiped if the government takes it upon themselves but instead they sleep on such cases because they are not at all affected and has no one to lose.

Terrorism is an adventurous phenomenon that is akin to Post industrial and contemporary global capitalism. Arguably, it is an outcome of the inherent and irreconcilable contradictions of industrial capitalism. Thus, it is class related contraption. It is about class struggles that inadvertently results into violent conflicts. But in Africa, the class war is expressed within the prism of primodial colourations ( ethnicity, religion and filial), which further compounds the solutions to it, otherwise, neoliberal permutations could resolve this matter such as governance inclusiveness, social security for the underprivileged class, narrowing the inequality gap, effective formulation and implementation of fiscal and monetary policies etc.

[MissNonFall9]

I think there are two main reasons behind terrorism in Africa. First of all, Africa is rich in wealth. and secondly the self-interested state that seeks to take from it. Many are entering Africa in many forms and taking advantage of it.
When a region is rich in wealth and there is not enough power to protect that region, many forces from outside will come and start collecting all that wealth. As a result, there will be chaos very naturally.

According to a report, many powerful groups can make their bases in parts of West and East Africa. Many such powerful groups are trying to illegally enter Central West Africa, especially in the Golden and Saheed regions. So, whether the context is, it is time to come forward for them.
