In Somalia, the United Nations Security Council says, Al-Shabaab made Sh1.3 billion in nine months through extortion and illegal taxes.
Other war-torn countries include DR Congo where millions of children are threatened by armed groups , the UN’s children’s agency has said.
At least 400,000 people have been displaced by militants in northern Mozambique, according to UNCHR. The country has been struggling with militants believed to be affiliated to the Islamic State.
Africans should be concerned by what is happening in Mozambique and any other country battling terrorism. This is because the people targeted by these outlaws are our brothers and sisters and the terrorism problem in these countries could spill over to neighbouring peaceful countries.
