“Counter-Terrorism in Africa” is a 2-day workshop to be held this December 15-16, 2025.

Presented by Prof Rohan Gunaratna (Professor of Security Studies at RSIS, NTU in Singapore) and Prof C. Nna-Emeka Okereke (Fellow at Defence College, Nigeria), this workshop is organized by Horn of Africa Institute of Peace and Security (HoAIPS).

Date: 15-16th (Mon-Tues) December 2025

Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM (East Africa Time)

Moderated by Natascha Hryckow (Senior Strategic Advisor at HOAIPS), this virtual 2-day workshop will provide a comprehensive analysis of terrorism threats in Africa and explore effective response strategies. The presenters are editors of the recently published Palgrave Handbook of Terrorism in Africa, which examines Africa’s emergence as a global terrorism epicenter and explores internal and external forces shaping regional security threats.

REGISTER HERE.

This workshop will help participants to:

  1. Examine the evolving terrorism landscape in Africa and its global implications.
  2. Analyze regional insurgencies, particularly in the Sahel and Lake Chad Basin.
  3. Explore state and community-level strategies for preventing and mitigating terrorism.
  4. Facilitate knowledge exchange between African and international counter-terrorism experts.
  5. Strengthen collaboration for research, policy, and operational interventions in regional security.

 

We look forward to seeing you there, as this event is sure to help us mitigate the surge of extremism, terrorism and violence in Africa. Tragedy is happening right before our eyes…hundreds of innocent people are being slaughtered every single day in the African continent. Professor Rohan Gunaratna and Prof C. Nna-Emeka Okereke worked very hard to edit the Palgrave Handbook of Terrorism in Africa.

 

Stay tuned for a book review in SWJ on this important work.

By striving to understand the root causes of terrorism in Africa and raising awareness about these atrocities, we can help make a difference. Please read the Palgrave Handbook of Terrorism in Africa. With your attendance to the event and support, you can help capacitate African institutions like the Horn of Africa Institute of Peace and Security (HoAIPS) in Somalia to rise against ideologies of extremism on social media and it’s violent manifestations on the ground.

Thank you.
