Terrorists Using Social Media To Radicalise Youths – Monguno

Babagana Monguno, National Security Adviser, has expressed that terrorist groups are using social media platforms to recruit and radicalize youths.

He stated this while speaking at the ongoing United Nations (UN) high-level conference of heads of counter-terrorism agencies of member states in New York, the United States on Tuesday.

Monguno stated that the approach adopted by terrorists is to portray the government as incapable of guaranteeing the protection and well-being of its population.

Monguno noted that it requires international collaboration to effectively deal with the complex nature of terrorism and other transnational organized crimes.

“I can say with total conviction that apart from pandemics, natural disasters, and the climate itself, today, the greatest threat to the existence of the human race is the global scourge of terrorism,” Monguno said.

“The fallout of activities associated with terrorists have collectively heightened insecurity in the greater part of Africa with serious economic, social, and political implications for its people.
