The San Diego World Affairs Council and Royal India Delmar present the Lunch & Learn Series featuring Dr. Chayanika Deka WHAT | Presenting: "The Rise of Terrorism in Africa" WHEN | Wednesday, September 20, 2023 - 12 p.m. - 1:30 p.m. WHERE | Royal India Restaurant In an increasingly multi-polar world, the continent of Africa has assumed a greater significance by becoming home to the world’s 25 fastest-growing economies and the largest reservoir of crude natural resources such as oil, gas, cobalt, diamond, uranium, and plutonium. Africa matters in a global platform not just because of its untapped economic resources, but also politically, as the continent finally spread its wings and presented itself as the biggest and consolidated voting bloc at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) with fifty-four member countries. As a result, it is not surprising that all of the world's major powers including the US, UK, China, Russia, India, and even emerging Middle Eastern nations like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates are engaging in every opportunity to invest in Africa. However, this pleasant picture of such a strategic portfolio of Africa came into question recently as much of the continent became the harbor of ferocious global jihadi activities. Jihadi violence has increased extraordinarily in North Africa, the Horn of Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa, and Central African regions. Terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda in Islamic Maghreb(AQIM), Boko Haram, Al-Shabaab, and Islamic State consisting mainly of jihadist or ethnic or religious militias, operating across Africa and creating havoc in the continent. Africa's everlasting security and prosperity rely on its ability to deal with challenges of terrorism. Stay Connected with Royal India Restaurant on Social Media! Facebook & Instagram
