To avert any possibility of terrorists infiltrating into Africa and making it a breeding ground for terrorists, I ask all African leaders to now address our poverty rather than impoverish our people through their thievery, looting and corruption. I also ask the West and the leaders of G-8 nations to take the issue of African poverty very seriously. Tackling Africa’s poverty and providing opportunities for Africans at home is a powerful way to fight against the possibility of any kind of terrorism movement in the continent. If Africa continues to be neglected and suppressed, there is no way the level of poverty there would not eventually attract terrorist recruitment there.
