Due to increasing inter-ethnic violence combined with a long history of political violence, Kenya has been described as a “volatile political and social environment”(QUOTE). Furthermore, high youth unemployment and widespread poverty motivate and entice individuals to seek out terrorist groups to join. These elements intertwined with the institutionalisation of political violence, have been identified as the specific causes of political violence in Kenya. To avoid the recurrence of political violence, the strategy was to re-examine the legal measures available and focus especially on humans rights and democratisation. As Kenneth Roth, an executive director of Human Rights Watch, states, “For Kenya to overcome the legacies of political violence, it has only two choices: justice or impunity”(QUOTE). Moreover, in order for citizens to have a better future, victims and the socioeconomic causes of political violence must be addressed. In other words, there has to be an emphasis placed on rehabilitation and “tackling poverty and inequality . . . particularly among youth”(QUOTE). With the adoption of these preventive elements in political violence and counter-terrorism strategies, Kenya has an opportunity to confront past injustices and bring about substantial

As a society, our government has tried to minimize domestic terrorism attacks and the impact that it causes should it occur, such as taking steps to acquire due diligence. Prior to the recent years, society lacked the preparedness programs and security plans, that could have prevented these ongoing attacks. Moreover, although we cannot put these attacks to a halt, we can surely put a plan into action that can prevent the widespread of these attacks. Nevertheless, these terrorists are becoming bolder ad bolder as the times go by, it seems as if the message of the government not allowing them to continue their rampage/destruction on the masses has not stuck. Prior to the recent years, we have seen high-profile attacks on major cities across the globe that has kept all individuals on their toes. Terrorist individuals/groups are no longer hitting specific groups of individuals or symbolic sites, but are more so hitting and putting cities and countries under siege, with the help of recruits they have acquired from poor and marginal neighborhoods all over, this type of recruitment is called

Somalia is a country situated in the ÒhornÓ of East Africa. It is bordered by the Gulf of Aden in the north, the Indian Ocean on the east and southeast, Kenya in the southwest, Ethiopia in the west, and Djibouti in the northwest. Somalia is about four times the size of the State of Minnesota, or slightly smaller than Texas. The capital is Mogadishu.

Throughout the world, terrorism affects cultures in a myriad of ways. The United States Department of Defense defines terrorism as, “ the calculated use of violence or the threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological” (DOD). Terrorism has emerged in the last ten years as one of the most crucial issues governments attempt to tackle. Many movies and documents can help people better understand the major strain of terrorism. As seen by the effects of the September eleventh attacks on American security, tourism and economy, the Taliban, and Somali piracy, terrorism has had an utmost impact on the world.

Somalia is located on the eastern seaboard surrounded by three bodies of water, the Red

In the past 15 years, the threat of terrorism has grown immensely, the frequency of attacks is the highest it has ever been. With these terrorist attacks becoming so frequent, there is great risk to the citizens of western countries. In the article “The Road to Orlando: Jihadist-Inspired Violence in the West, 2012-2016,” Sam Mullins states that while the number of attacks has increased, the number of deaths has decreased because most attacks are carried out by individuals, not terrorist groups. Sam Mullins is a professor with a Ph.D. in Counterterrorism, and has also been a very strong contributor to some of the most influential terrorism research journals. The main focus of the article was on the perpetrators of these attacks and how most

Arizona State University (ASU) liberty database holds thousands of different articles, for all your needs. The article State Failure, State-Building, and Prospects for a “Functional Failed State” in Somalia, by Ken Menklaus has been recorded to be cited 5 times in all databases within Social Science, Emerging Sources, and in a book. (all data stated within the ASU’s library database) the credibility of the article is not just proven by being part of ASU’s vast collection of articles but also by the man that wrote the article. Reading the article will take time, it’s an article that without a boundless understanding of the subject would sound senseless to the reader. Author Ken Menklaus is a Professor of Political Science at Davison College,

The U.S. State Department defines terrorism, according to Piazza (2006), “premeditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub national groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence an audience” (p. 165). Throughout history, labor disputes have often been accompanied by terror and resistance movements. Terrorism dates way back in history, but political terrorism only dates back to the last century and is regarded as a new phenomenon. For example, Afghanistan has seen conflict since it was created as a county. The most notable is the terror of the terrorist group the Taliban. The Taliban rose to power when commanders imposed heavy costs on trades between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Many people had to adapt to the high risk environment created by the commanders and this spurred the acts of violence. Today conflict is evident throughout the country. What is the cause of modern political terrorism? There are many schools of thought on why a modern country will experience terrorism. In this paper I focus on the theory of a poor economy fueling acts of terror and the different schools of thoughts that focus on this subject. An economy is influenced by many categories. Many of these categories, such as the gap between wealthy and poor, economic and resource distribution, socioeconomic status, employment, and social welfare and policy all account for a country’s economy. When there is poor performance in these areas the country

In this article it talks about how the miss use of medical abbreviations should never happen. Like BT means bedtime but could be mistaken for BID which is twice a day. ISMP would like you to use bedtime so that there is no confusions. Another abbreviation that could cause a miss communication is HS which means half strength, which could be interpreted as bedtime. Which means they would be taking the full amount when they should only be taking half of the normal doses. Yes, I think that is very helpful to help cut down on all of the miss communication.

Somalia is a country strategically located in the Horn of Africa. Some of the countries that border Somalia are Kenya, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. The history goes back as far as the biblical days when the country was referred to as Cush. Egypt is the first documented country to invade Somalia. The country has approximately

There are many benefits of medical abbreviations. One benefit of medical abbreviations is how much easier it makes it to read a chart. This speeds up the process by knowing the abbreviations and the use of them. It is nice to simplify things by using medical abbreviations when it is a busy day. The other reason to use medical abbreviations is so that only the medical personnel will know what is being described. It is a very efficient way of maintaining a patient’s privacy. Everybody does not need to know a patient’s medical history or what is going on with a patient or resident and allows their privacy to be protected.

The US interest in Somalia is best summarized by the United States Africa command (USAFRICOM) mission. Listed on the USAFRICOM website, the mission cornerstones are to “Deter and Defeat Transnational Threats, Prevent Future Conflicts, Support Humanitarian and Disaster Relief, and Protect U.S. Security Interests.” Due to the lack of a national government, the country has been a hot bed of terrorism. The al-Shabaab militia group has been especially active in the region and has carried out attacks in the neighboring countries of Kenya and Ethiopia. Al-shabaab claimed responsibility for the bloody four-day siege at the upscale mall in Nairobi, which began on September 21, 2013 and left 67 people dead Kenyans and foreigners among them. The terrorism concern is not just Somalia and the neighboring countries concerns but rather a global issue. The group is linked to al-Qaeda which has been a big concern for the US. The Anti Defamation League on their article titled “Al-shabaab’s American Recruits” reports that at least 50 U.S. citizens and permanent residents are believed to have joined or attempted to join al-shabaab since 2007. The group actively and deliberately recruits young Americans to join the group. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is actively engaged and stated that the group is one of its highest priorities in terrorism. Times magazine on their article “Al-shabaab Leader killed in Drone Strike” illustrates the commitment of the US to fight the group. Adab Garar a key operative responsible for coordinating al-Shabab’s external operations, which target U.S. persons and other Western interests was killed in the strike. Additionally, the group is notorious for piracy along the Gulf of Aden. Piracy has disrupted maritime security in the region adversely affecting American interest in the region in terms of sea commerce. The U.S in addition to its antiterrorism efforts also provide humanitarian support to the

Al-Shabaab as a terrorist group poses a significant threat in Somalia and in the global community. This paper will start by discussing the background. In this part the paper will show how the group has evolved from Al-Ittihad Al-Islam (AIAI) to the Islamic Court Union (ICU) and lastly to Al-Shabaab. Before discussing the group’s threat of national security, homeland and international, this paper will provide the conceptual meaning of key terminology, such as national security, homeland security, international security and globalization. It is important to understand these concepts before moving toward the main argument of the paper. After providing the framework for key concepts, the paper will discuss the group’s threat to Somalia in two areas, national security and homeland security. The paper will go further and identify the threats posed by the group on other nations’ homeland security and international security. We will use East African countries and the United States examples. The paper will provide evidence to support how globalization has shaped and fueled the threats from Al-Shabaab. It will then discuss the primary response from the United States and from African countries through AMISOM. The paper will provide the way forward and suggestions for the response of the international community to Al-Shabaab. In conclusion, we will try to alert the international community that although the group has been experience hard times in Somalia, it is unwise to

Somalia, also known as the Democratic Republic of Somalia, is a country located in the Horn of Africa. Somalia history can be traced back as far as the Paleolithic period. (Funk & Wagnalls, 1900) Ancient structures, ruined cities, and stone walls found in Somalia, is evidence of a country that once thrived with a sophisticated civilization (p. 132). Somalia is a country that was once known for its rich geographical location located near oil wells in the Persian Gulf and a mainstream for international imports and exports along the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean.

"Of the 28,328 people killed in terrorist attacks in 2015, 6,924 (24%) were perpetrators of terrorist attacks," the report says. "Perpetrators were killed intentionally in suicide attacks, accidentally while attempting to carry out attacks, or by security forces or victims responding to attacks”(cnsnews). This is what terrorism has done all across the world. Terrorism has become a never ending occurrence in Mali that has caused major issues economically and physically. Throughout this paper there will be main ideas on what has happened in Mali with terrorism. Following with what leads to the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on the effort of terrorism in Mali. To follow up with why the realist critique fits the terrorism in mali. Ending with the proof if the UNSC response and current issues and if the UN is still there to this day. Wrapping it all up with a final conclusion of my research and thoughts.
