Terrorism in Africa is politicized. The politicians are using it to make money so they even sponsoring the secs to get billions of currencies in their regions. Terrorism can be eliminated if the government really wants to work. Just an instance from my regions Niger Delta in Nigeria. The militias were disturbing the region because the crude oil was not managed by anyone in the region and they wanted people from the region to control and become shareholders of the natural resource and the then President did something which was the Amnesty given to the boys and everything just die down. So if really there I no political down play in the terrorism at the Northern part of the country, they would have stopped it since.
Now the African leaders have play the game to the hands of the Western Blocks. They have seen that Africa is trying bro develop ND come out from the poverty zone they kept us, now they are using the African demon youths to fight against the peaceful youths of the continent.

Terrorism isn't what in general people think. Those armed ones can go anywhere for a roll of dollars. Africa would never be a developed country if they do not eradicate terrorism and elect responsible leaders. just my two cents
If you research very well, you will discover that terrorism is affecting the whole world today which is the major problem the earth is facing now because, no matter what other countries does to improve the world economy, no improvement because there are set of countries leaders who is using the system to make money from the world.
Do you think if the world or African leaders want to end terrorism today they don't have the power or equipment to end it, they have the power but some bad leaders have turned it to be source of income to them, and it will be difficult for terrorism to leave the land easily without the bad leaders remove their hands on it.

Terrorism is not only in Africa but also in different parts of the world. specifically, you mentioned Africa, and I can say that the major actors of terror are the central control system, which is the government. If you study the way terrorist attacks occur, you will find out that there is a connection between the current leads and the terrorist attacks.
Even in the military of the state, they have allies that bring them information. Sometimes these allies are known, but no action is taken because it's a deal with the supreme or federal power. If any African country wishes to wipe out terrorism, it is very much possible, but how can it happen when the external forces have underground plans for terrorism?
In fact, there is more to terrorism than the mere speculations that we make. I would have loved to share more knowledge about terrorism, but it's limited from my angle.

Terrorism, albeit often directed at civilians, is a retaliation against the government and its policies which only means that terrorists and the government should be at each other’s throats but if the government is not doing anything then it must be safe to say that these terrorists must be a product of the government itself
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.

See OP our African leaders have take it as a business they have taken our life as gamble there play us as there want.
This thing called Terrorism has been a part of the African blood it run through down the vain I would love to said the the African security are the ones selling out this information just for money only
"Terrorism is considered another arm of the government in my country because it's politically motivated. Many of these terrorists have once worked for government officials, helping them win elections. However, some of these politicians do not fulfill their promises, which often leads to the terrorists using the same guns that politicians provided them during elections to terrorize the citizens."
The African security environment of this era is exceedingly dynamic and a complex one at that it's composed on highly complex and interconnected problem which has present immense challenge not only in African cities but also globally some of this security challenge is sponsored by politician or external factor for a certain benefit
I don't blame only the leaders, I blame also our religious. religious have also contributed to the problems we are facing today in Africa. if you check well, religious is the most problem Africans are having today. Look at the war against Christianity and Muslims in Africa. both the leaders and religious in Africa, is the problem Africans are facing today.
The truth is these terrorism is sponsored by people and these people are not poor. They are the rich people in the country. These chaos and insecurities favor them. There are people in high places pulling the strings. These guys may even be the people that sponsor politicians for elections.
For example, if an oil company discovers oil in a particular place and the people of that place demand certain things to be done for them before their oil can be drilled, these companies find a way to create conflict in the town. While the people of that town are busy fighting against each other the company will be drilling the oil.
The same goes for every other natural resource in the region.
I get disgusted when people blame the West for the conflicts in Africa because the West won't be able to do much harm if the African leaders don't invite them in.

What typically occurs is that the opposition, rather than cooperating with the winning party to advance the interests of the nation after the politicians who employed the thugs win their elections and likely desert them, will be using those thugs to attack that administration through acts of terrorism, banditry, and kidnapping, which is wrong.
If we are expecting opposition political party to support the party who was able to rig themselves into government is going to be a waste of time. As far as politics is concern, election is win and win all. I don't think collaboration government work or coalition, it doesn't really work in governance because the other party has a different idea or idealogy they were coming with and so such fusion may further take the country back. Political party by primary understanding is formed to win election and form a government and that happens at agreed duration of tenure.
They will vote for people they want, and the election might be rigged, then instead of compensating the poor mases with good governance they end up in Godfatherism, and through this Africa can never advance if all our leaders will be selfish.
Terrorism in Africa, are cause by the bad leaders in Africa most of them are sponsor by these leaders. Terrorism is bad everywhere, and we must speak against it. The youths must be train and giving equal opportunity. That's the only way to reduce youths restiveness. And illegal carrying of arm in Africa.
Not only in Africa but also in the global issue. Bad political leaders ultimately sponsor terrorism. They use terrorists for their favor, and when their job is done, they do an eye-washing fight against terrorists. But terrorism has mostly grown in 3rd world countries. The main reason for terrorism is insufficient job sectors. Young graduated peoples are jobless. They are unable to get a job. In the meantime, they need money to live.
In this situation, most young people have no choice rather than joining terrorism to make money and live their life. I have seen a video interview of a terrorist where he said most of his team members are doing it because they don't have a job to do.
Great minds, who do you think is behind the killings in African region?
Should we blame just African leaders or the western block.
In the past few weeks, there has been another murder in Mali, which resulted in dozens of deaths and this was rumored to be the result of the actions of a terrorist.
But that I read on a website.
Quote
From the maps analyzed by SAPS, 51.5% of the murders were committed during an altercation or misunderstanding. Twenty percent were committed during another crime such as aggravated robbery. Vigilantism accounts for 10%, retaliation or revenge 3%, gang violence 2% and other group or mass conflicts such as taxi violence 1%.
Source: https://issafrica.org/iss-today/what-do-we-know-about-murder-in-south-africaSo it means that in countries in that part of Africa, the residents there often have a dispute, and the people there seem to be easily irritated, which results in frequent killings. Means that basically citizens in African countries, it's very easy to kill each other. Which means it will be very easy to be ordered or paid by other people to commit a murder. Perhaps because of that, there is a lot of terrorism in African countries.

And when those politicians finally win the election and get to office, is either they forget those thugs and left the guns for them and to fund their illegal activities start to use those guns bought by the politicians to commit other crimes such as armed robbery, kidnapping and terrorisms, so the leaders who are the corrupt politicians are the root cause of most of the insecurities in the African continent.
Politicians, especially those from Africa, can do anything to win an election, but once they do, they ignore some of the people who helped them win and concentrate on their own selfish goals, which often involve getting back the money they spent before considering employment.
I think what courses insecurity most in Africa is politics because every act of terrorism is aided by the government's ability or inability, this is what has likely led to so many kids in society today, and that makes me to agree with the words of a political scholar who states that, if terrorism rain beyond 24 hours in a country it means the government have hands in, what it means by government os the politicians and their machinery and how there have invested a lot in arms for their thugs and after the election that arm get into the street and become an instrument for more harm in the society.

Most of the boko haram terrorists were once political machinery of politicians who bought guns and bullets for them to use for intimidating political opponents and as being used to carry out their evil act of elections ringing through bemused of force and intimidation to electoral officials. And when those politicians finally win the election and get to office, is either they forget those thugs and left the guns for them and to fund their illegal activities start to use those guns bought by the politicians to commit other crimes such as armed robbery, kidnapping and terrorisms, so the leaders who are the corrupt politicians are the root cause of most of the insecurities in the African continent.
One form of terrorism happens when the government takes the guns away from the people.

It can only be sponsored by bad leader because if you check the equipments this men are using to operate it can only be gotten through the government, most time the main reason for terrorism in our society is because of bad governance, when their is no employment for youths all what they think about is to create crime that will disturb the the government and the people living in the country. In a country where government is able to create job, solve inflation problems for price of things not to high it is impossible for terrorism to exist, and when government are doing their jobs in the society they do not tolerate crime and terrorism. Africa is too corrupt that even if they choose a leader that is good bad politicians will do everything they can do to still retain power. The people are tired of bad leaders but the level of corruption in the Africa system it is not easy to change these bad leaders.
The problem is evil government replace bad government and the problem gets worse of than the previous. Take for instance the coup in Niger that just happened where the former government has been seize by the new military government for corruption allegations, that doesn't mean that the new government will keep things clean. They will still go back to feed in same plate that they have accused the previous government on. The African situation is such an unfortunate one that it needs some thing drastic and a wave to blow across all the government for a fresh air to come.
