Safety and security in Africa
The African continent has made great strides in reducing
civil War or the number of violent conflicts . Simultaneously, however, the nature of security
threats has substantially changed. This requires new regional and international
responses to strengthening the security of African citizens
The new threat to African stability,
is safety and security. of its citizens and people visiting or wanting to working there. most
people don't feel safe at home, intercity travel or going out late evening, and always scared
of their their family. its has not only reduce the number of foreigner visiting
Africa, even by
its citizen base abroad but also hindered a lot of investment opportunities in the
African continent
The african Government most look inward,
the root course of lack of security is poverty, unequal income distributionin the society.
and neglect by the goverment. It is a vicious cicle of criminality in africa. Most politician are
enriching themselves, while people are working for peasant salary and national wealth is
not properly distributed. the poor, start comitting crime to afford a a better life.
other see how he got rich over night, he too start comming crime. as justifation of their action

Where are the state security apparatus.
The first thing
that comes to mind, is where are the police. It will unfair to heap the
whole fault on the police force , all the same Transparency International
