Terrorism by nature is difficult to define. Acts of terrorism conjure emotional responses in the victims (those hurt by violence and those affected by the fear) as well as in the practitioners. Even the U.S. Government cannot agree on one single definition. An old adage goes “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter”
Terrorism poses a great threat to individual lives and national security around the world. As a developing continent, Africa is increasingly being seen as a spring board for terrorists to launch their terrorist activities and acts of terror. Africa provides a breeding ground for terrorists to collaborate, plan and grow from strength to strength in order to target developed countries such as the United States. Government officials and leaders of countries are now exploring methods and tactics in which to combat terrorism, but still many questions remain unanswered.
Preventing and Combating Terrorism 2006 is Africa’s FIRST-ever summit that will bring together leading terrorism authorities from around the world in order to seek solutions to the global concern of terrorism.
The summit will touch on real issues affecting Africa and examine the latest methods of combating terrorism, such as how to identify and curb terror financing, money laundering, profiling terrorists, and the impact of religious radicalisation.
Terrorism in Africa brings together representatives from government, the military and national parliaments from European, African and North American countries, as well as international and non-governmental organisations. It will provide an opportunity for detailed discussion of past and present counter terrorism operations.
The event will provide an informed look at the current and future needs of preventing and combating terrorism efforts in Africa. Attend this event and gain insights into the key issues emanating from current research concerning the development, testing, and training of technology for both military and civilian applications.
