initiatives on the way toabolishing terrorists’movements from various regions
within the globe. World powers have strived through intense approach by either
negotiations or confrontationalmeasure to eradicate terrorism; steps were put
forward to deploy large amount of military contingents to some ravaged
communities resulting from militia activities.
Does such effortsequally commensurate with the emergence or rise in terrorists’
activities?
Since the events of 9/11 attacks in United States, the founder of terrorists
movements (Osama Bin Laden) had disappear in the thin airuntil recently when
he wasfound and executed, but his activities remain real, claiming more lives than
ever, infuriating the Islamic militiasto strengthen more holds within their
territories,such as Afghanistan, Pakistan,Yemen, Indonesia, Somalia,Iraq, Iran
and Palestineand part of Africa. The terrorists are well organized with support
from some Arab nations to meet the Western forcescombatantoutfit. The
emergences of these Islamic movements have wrecked the political and economic
proficiencies of their nations, for instance, the United States spent close to $445
billions for its military mission in Afghanistan. Movements like Hezbollah in
Lebanon, Hamas and Fatah movements in Palestine, Movement of Islamic Court
in Somali, popularly known as Al-Shababand miscreant Arab movementsand
AL-QAEDA groups in Iraq, Turkey, Indonesia, part of North Africa and the rest
of Arab states, to stress international community on security alert with multiple
complications.
The rigorous military input world powers had committed in the fight isenough to
curb the situation andcalm any tendencies by any group to emerge for such
outrageous activities. The financial involvement of western forces, negotiations,
and militaryintelligenceshouldhave brought a considerable changes or to subside
the tension to some extent, but history has proved that terrorists’insurgency had
risen beyond normal in the last 10 –25years, and yet, challenges that are more
offensiveare defeating the best efforts of the world powers towards the fight
against terrorism.Terrorists’activities violate International Humanitarian Laws.
Europe detected the global wave of terrorism, hence the Security Council states;
“Terrorism put lives at risk, it imposes large cost; it seeks to undermine the
openness and tolerance of our societies, and it poses a growing strategic threat
to the whole Europe. Increasingly, terrorists movements are well resourced,
connected by electronic networks, and are willing to use unlimited violence to
cause massive casualties.
