A discussion of the dangerous trend of circulating false suspects following a terrorist attack, and why it is important to show restraint and professionalism when dealing with terrorism.
I can already see the eyes of numerous readers roll up: Another text claiming the demise of the United Nations Organisation. This one is quite different however as it deals with the UN in a different way, namely the organisation’s role as a platform for peace and dialogue.

Yan St-Pierre discusses how far-right parties, movements and representatives are their own source of insecurity, and how Donald Trump’s election affects this dynamic. (Photo: John Worth / flickr.com / CC BY 2.0)
Yan St-Pierre aims at providing the larger picture of the mass killings and attacks in Europe over the last ten months, in order to try to understand the various factors underlying this situation.
@MiglioreJAM @MOSECON_Su @CopSmithTPS @MrMubinShaikh Scariest part is that those numbers don't include communal violence or ISWAP attacks. I'll say it again, the conflicts in the #Sahel and lake Chad region are some of the most overlooked, underestimated, misunderstood and worst in the world
Un développement catastrophique qui s'ajoute à une liste croissante de retraits de personnel de sécurité dans plusieurs endroits au #burkinafaso cette année. C'est révélateur de l'ampleur de la menace et son développement exponentiel depuis 2017. #Sahel https://t.co/zq8j0OWCoX
And by the way, the Supercamps idea to fight #ISWAP & #BokoHaram isn't right for Nigerian context & draconian media laws on "terrorism support" in Burkina hasn't stopped BF security forces from withdrawing from areas or the expansion of #ISGS / #JNIM activities around the country
Not talking about a problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
NA shows again it's clueless. It looks elsewhere for ideas (Mali for Supercamps, Burkina for issue below) which is good if adapted to own context, but not if applied wholesale. #ISWAP learns & adapts, NA shld too 1/2 https://t.co/93CWOwX8p7
@MiglioreJAM @MOSECON_Su @CopSmithTPS @MrMubinShaikh And as the attacks increase, so does the de facto territorial control of terrorist organisations in the region expanding eastwards and westwards, as well as spilling over into Ghana, Benin, Togo and the Ivory Coast. It's not a spike as much as a pandemic. 2/2
