Investigators taking part in a
counterterrorism training workshop in the country, have agreed that the
solution to terrorism in Africa lies in the commitment of each
individual state.The investigators, who are drawn from various African countries,
maintained this yesterday came to the conclusion of a week-long workshop
at the National Police Academy in Musanze District.The training was organised by East African Police Chiefs Cooperation
Organization (EAPCCO) through Rwandan National Police (RNP) in
collaboration with South African based Institute of Security Studies (ISS) and the International Association of Bomb Technicians and
Investigators (IABTI).The 35 participants from 14 countries, who trained on bomb disposal
techniques, resolved to develop domestic commitment to successfully
eliminate terrorism threats on the continent."There is an increase in terrorist activities, but through sharing
information and experiences, we can combat it," said Anneli Botha, an
expert on international crimes at ISS.She explained that particular emphasis is required to defeat
terrorists from the main hot-spots citing Al shabab in Somalia and Boko
Haram in Nigeria.Botha warned against religious divisions between Muslims and
Christians because most terrorist activities are organised along such
lines.Participants shared experiences and intelligence information about
the 1998 US embassy bombings in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar-es-Salaam,
Tanzania and the June 2010 attacks in Kampala, Uganda."It has been an opportunity to get updated on the new trends about
terrorism threats. From here, we can develop our own strategies on how
to deal with terrorists," Willem Els, a bomb disposal technician at
IABTI said.NPA's Commandant, Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Felix
Namuhoranye, also concurred that it had been an occasion to assess how
well prepared each country is as far as counter-terrorism was concerned."This professional exchange of experiences has been fruitful, it has
enhanced important skills on how to counter terrorism," he said.

We Are Winning the War on Terrorism in Horn of Africa
The threat is from violent extremists who are a small minority of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims, the threat is real. They distort Islam. They kill man, woman and child; Christian and Hindu, Jew and Muslim. They seek to create a repressive caliphate. To defeat this enemy, we must understand who we are fighting against, and what we are fighting for.
