Dr. Abdullahi Shehu on Monday said “most African countries are incapable of dealing with the problems” associated with terrorism in isolation due to many challenges confronting them.
The Director General of the Inter-Governmental Action Group against Money Laundering in West Africa, GIABA, said on 13 May, 2013 that the impact of terrorist acts which are manifested in various dimensions is widespread.
In a paper addressing “Peace and Security in Africa: The Challenges of the Fight against Terrorism in the Context of Maintaining International Peace and Security“, he told the United Nations Security Council, UNSC, “that the patterns and locations of these terrorist acts depend on the ideology, intents and capability of the perpetrators”.
