Fighting terrorism, internationally, regionally and nationally is a politics of inclusion the requirement of international solidarity conditioned to favor a setting of thriving social justice, respect and inclusion of all religions, races, ages and gender disparities. Let’s not forget we are fighting against Terrorism and rather not The Terrorists. The threat of global terrorism must be defeated, but with an approach that is not as deliberate as the traps they on the other hand have set for us mainly being the traps of victimization, civilian deaths and discrimination of religions, which serve as further cause and not consequence of violent extremism. The Boko Haram militant group on the other hand also thrives by youth foot soldiers. For instance, As per the United Nations Al Qaida /Taliban monitoring Team estimates, more than 13000 foreign terrorist fighters from over 80 UN member states have joined the ISIL (Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant) and the al-Nusra Front. The forefront face of violent extremist groups has been blurred by the opportunity of networking that Social media has presented, and the allure/literature of violent extremism ideologies has successfully captured youths from across the world. As the United Nations Security Council reaffirmed at its 7272nd meeting, on 24th September 2014: “…terrorism in all forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable regardless of their motivations, whenever and by whosoever committed, and remaining determined to contribute further to enhancing the effectiveness of the overall effort to fight this scourge on a global level.” We also note with concern that we are facing a new kind, and face, of global terrorism, against which conventional hardware methods will not work. With this consultation, we seek to address the issue of youths increasing radicalization, and the proposed plans for post-2016 CVE strategies (and proposed partners) that will ensure youths inclusion. The Radicalization of youth is becoming one of the most important threats of international terrorism globally today as more and more youths are turning to extremism in their search for identity, acceptance and purpose. There is a growing concern of the prevalence of Violent extremism and even as we move towards the maiden International Youths Conference on Counter-Terrorism (February 2016), we need to be more practical in all our counter-narrative proceeds.
