Topic: Terrorism in Africa - page 3. (Read 660 times)

African people do not have any power to eminate or put a stop to terrorism, it is only the government that can help to fight 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.

You're right but I think there are other problems out there, economic and the bigger problem is political the problem, the opposition to the African government thinks that if they continue to carry out terrorist activities, they'll be able to get to the top of the country at some point, but I think that's never going to happen. Not possible because many countries deploy troops to support African governments. Which is included in the UN mission.

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.

In Africa I would blame the people living there which do not stand up for their rights although as said here it is impossible to find the real ones to blame for the terrorism which has become normal nowadays.Africa should start by electing better people to manage their funds,I saw a video on Linkedin where some military coup had caught the minister of finances of one African place and told him that he has 48 hours to explain where did the funds go or otherwise would face death execution by the firing squad,he was crying in that video explaining.I hope more corrupted people like him are exposed further as that ends terrorism.

If Africa leaders truly want to fight terrorism they do it with out any difficulties,  terrorism exists in Africa because these are the same people our leaders use to gain their own political ambition.  The leaders have mo choice to tolerate terrorism because the people involved in terrorism have things in common.  Their is no terrorists group that is  stronger than government,  government only allow them to exist.

I agree with you on the impact of gun-running on the deteriorating security situation in Africa,  and how government officials and politicians can protect themselves and their families from this negative impact of the security situations raising from terrorism to kidnapping and security situations that have ravaged the African continent most especially west Africa.

Some of those in the heads of government have their children relocated abroad to avoid them becoming victims of the insecurity they're created for the people and just as you rightly said,  gun running as a result of wars in some African countries like Libya and the rest have aided this insecurity in a far fetching state.

A time is coming that the bush meat will start to be chasing after the hunter, these people the government sponsored to engage in terrorism or neglect to take their matter serious and give them an avenue to make a new change by them first making the first move in bringing back equality and opportunities to the terrorist, once they are done with the innocent citizens, they will then go after the government officials and continue their next level unleashed tasks with them which means no one could obviously be safe when thngs go weird with terrorist because they will always agitates and this are the people you neglect being responsible for their wellbeing.

Government officials are not the only endangered species on kidnapping or armed attackers. Once you have infiltration of guns in the society then every body is at risk. In fact government officials are more secured and protected with their families because they have security personnels guiding them day and night. Therefore, the onions is on the people to ensure that government do the right thing. To secure lives and properties are the primary obligation of the government.

I'm thinking that this might be a form of Russian terrorism in Africa. Maybe it will be the poisoned grain from Ukraine that Putin will send to Africa. You know. Poisoned by spraying it with Monsanto pesticides and herbicides.

The gathering of some 17 African heads of state (down from prior years, given US pressure and the Ukraine war) and many more senior officials from countries across the continent, comes just days after Moscow rejected renewal of the UN-backed Black Sea Grain Initiative.

Putin vowed the following in his keynote address to the summit: "In the coming months, we will be ready to provide Burkina Faso, Zimbabwe, Mali, Somalia, the Central African Republic and Eritrea with 25,000-50,000 tonnes of grain free of charge," he said.

As regional reporting recounts, for "over a year, the grain deal allowed around 33 million tons of grain to leave Ukrainian ports, helping to stabilize global food prices and avert shortages."

Aside from Africa leaders riding bullet proof cars,  most of the politicians are the main sponsors of those terrorism groups and just as you said in the last paragraph,  due to their involvement is the scheme they always look away from the activities of those terrorists gourps and systematically place them in such a way that the National security are weak against the terorists and their can't fight them since the machineries to do so are not given to them.

Africa have become a breesing ground for most terrorist groups and it take a lot of efforts from global terrorist police in collaboration with Afriacns security force to be able to face out this manice that is ravaging our society currently because it is now obvious that our African leaders lack that capacity or will to do the right thing in this regard.

Africa could have been alot of tourism attraction centre allover the worlds in welcoming people from different nations, but due to insecurities and the fear associated to this makes it more discouraging for international tourist least choose Africa for them to visit, government in these concerned government should engage more security measures to tackle terrorism because they will always fear the risk of being kidnapped, robbed or threatened to be killed in visited and they fall into the hands of terrorist.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.


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.


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.

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.

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

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.
