EFFECTS
OF TERRORISM IN AFRICA
Terrorism
is viewed as threatened or the unlawful utilization of violence against people,
or property to force and intimidate societies or governments for political
objectives. In most cases the unavoidable political objectives are phrased out
in economic, social or religious terms. Terrorism is differentiated from
ordinary law crimes in that the motivation isn't for financial gain- a
differentiation important in distinguishing terrorism from other planned
criminal behavior.
The
effects of 11 September, 2001 terrorists’ attacks made the Western world become
more and more concerned with the ‘failed states’ in the universal south. This
concern also has essential implications for Africans as well as international
reactions to armed insurgency
