Topic: Terrorism in Africa (Read 717 times)

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.

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.

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 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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is happening everywhere and if some places in Africa have been targeted by these terrorists, that only means that there's a need for the leaders there to strengthen their forces and armies and send them to almost every corner where these terrorists are being found. Having to shown that you're serious with this campaign of dealing against them will make them back off somehow if they still love their lives.

But just as I've heard with some of the videos about them, many of them are like ready to die so no matter what preparation comes, they've all come prepared and won't be scared to death even an inch of it. And with all of the source of these terrorism in the world comes from rebellion, poverty, poor support from the government and any other problems that these people are crying for. Also, some of them are likely funded internationally so they're hard to eradicate.

You are not wrong if you blame the leaders for continuous terrorism and killings of the innocent civilians across the globe. The people in government know the source of Terrorism, the cause of Terrorism, and how to Stop Terrorism. But they are in one way or the other guilty.

Actually it's still the same issue - a malevolent entity(satan) who controls the world is tormenting disobedient slaves. He is like a slave master that punishes his slaves who refuse to obey him. It's very dangerous to resist the one you have made your master... either fully serve the CREATOR of the Universe or the entity. The evil entity is the head and controls the rest of the body/world. It's important to note that other human slaves that have ranked up to the top of the system controlled by the entity are also the heads and are typically used to run the world as heads by the entity. So, it shouldn't surprise you to see the human heads punishing the lowliest slaves that refuse to obey them, just like the entity. The entity is basically using them to punish the disobedient ones or he just does it via other slaves/things it controls. Like they say in the world, Resistance is futile . You can only successfully resist as a freeman.

The continent has lots of slaves of slaves, meaning slaves that serve the top slaves. But there are aswell many people in the continent who are protected from the entity and its insecurity. They are true believers in MESSIAH JESUS and there are those under grace who are given time to change for good.

I can’t speculate on who is behind the killings in Africa or simply don’t want to speculate and make assumptions on it but,
I would say,
Terrorism is a problem to the elites where ever they are found. Maybe they get to ride in bullet proof cars and go about their daily lives with securities, that tells you how insecure they are and the means they are using to ensure they are safe in contrast to the common man that just go about their day without having these concerns.
I could say the rich has a hand in terrorism issues but, they too are in for the consequences.

Terrorism's is a global issue at first place but the one of Africa differ from others because of the force behind it. One of our national president said in qoute "that any terrorists that is above government, you should know that the hand of the government is inside". Our politician we all Africa have know it's no longer a news how our leaders Manoval and rig election even when the citizens said no through the use of hudulums, taut,cultist etc. The government made many failed be promises to them even the citizens, form many fake agency to loot, embezzled fund keeping their nation under development and adject poverty, a hungry man is an angry man.

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.

This is very correct human are terrorists themself that is the major reason for law and order are made to bond society together, if not what we as human would have face is a jungle. Why this is taken place is because the law that supposed to restrict this ocurance of all these is no longer been handle by the leaders  the way it ought to have been, them  been the first to break it is coursing more chaos. Naturally the heart of man is full of evil even God himself confirm it after creating man.

Terrorism not only threatens the lives of civilians in the region but also contributes to political instability and undermines economic gains and future development. African people are more neglected because of governments and politicians. There is no government action against terrorism. Extremist groups and their affiliates are expanding their influence and claiming support and territory. And there are large casualties there.

Africa leaders plays the most dirtiest kind of politics. Terrorism we see in most places in Africa is a result of politics.  Politicians  usually form group of gangs which they use during election to rig election and after elections the politicians usually abandon this guys which they later form a terror group to disrupt the activity of the government for not fulfilling the promise that was made to them. The government have the power to fight any terror group but they overlook because they know this terrorist better.

Television!
