1. “The Committee of Intelligence and Security Services of Africa operates, at the African Union level, as a mechanism for cooperation, coordination and exchange of information. Bilaterally, Angola cooperates with the African Centre for the Study and Research on Terrorism, based in Algiers. Regarding the financing of terrorism, the Angolan Parliament adopted a law on the prevention of and fight against terrorism and the African Union Convention on the Prevention and Combating of Terrorism. Additionally, a number of legal measures were put in place ratifying the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism and the Anti-Terrorism and Money Laundering Law.”

2. “International cooperation is a fundamental tool in countering the threat of terrorism, and in that context resolution 1373 (2001) provides guidelines to promote cooperation in combating terrorism. In applying those guidelines, Angola cooperates with member States of the Community of Portuguese Language Countries and of subregional organizations, namely the South African Development Community and Economic Community of Central African States, in the exchange of information, administrative and judicial cooperation in preventing and fighting terrorism. A Regional Early Warning Centre was established to improve communication among the 14 member States of the Southern African Development Community.”

3. “The Angolan Government established the National Anti-Terrorism Observatory, under the coordination of the Ministry of the Interior, comprising a group ofmultisectoral experts from various Government departments, including defence and security, with the task of monitoring any potential or current terrorist threats. Resolution 2178 (2014) sets up concrete action to mobilize the international community to fight foreign terrorist fighters, including by adopting relevant national legislation. Angolan legislation applies heavy prison penalties for anyone collaborating with a terrorist group, either through the provision of information or material means, including weapons, ammunition, tools for committing crimes, shelter, meeting places or by helping to recruit members for terrorist organizations.”

6. “The Secretary-General's report on the threat posed by ISIL to international peace and security and the range of United Nations efforts in support of Member States in countering the threat (S/2016/92) makes relevant recommendations on the measures States and the United Nations should take to counter such unprecedented threats. The report reminds us that States, while bearing the primary responsibility to counter terrorism, are unable to do so when acting in isolation. The global dimension the terrorist threats have assumed requires global responses for which the United Nations and other international organizations play a critical role by adopting a comprehensive, concerted and coordinated approach.”

7. “Terrorist groups such as Al-Qaida, the Al-Nusra Front, ISIL, Boko Haram and others continue to recruit adherents and to viciously abduct young people to be transformed into terrorist fighters all over the world. The situation has put the international community under alert on the need to identify and address the root causes of the phenomenon and to apply the best approaches to counter this worrying trend. It is understood that the resolution of ongoing conflicts, fundamentally in Syria, Iraq, Libya and Mali, would have a direct impact on the driving forces of ISIL terrorism, in the Sahel region and elsewhere, where terrorists have pledged allegiance to the self- proclaimed caliphate of Syria and the Levant.”

8. “Boko Haram in Nigeria, Al-Qaida and its affiliates in the Islamic Maghreb, Ansar al-Sharia and the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in Libya and Al-Shabaab in Somalia spread misery, death and terror without mercy. The Sahel region, Mali, the Central African Republic and the Democratic Republic of the Congo are also targets of terrorist groups in a rampage of evil and destruction. This is a troubling situation that threatens peace, stability and security throughout the continent. In recent years, a disturbing development has emerged, linked to the growing number of individuals involved in conflicts worldwide. It feeds a new type of so-called international terrorism, giving rise to the unprecedented phenomenon of foreign terrorist fighters.”

9. “In fact, terrorism is a serious threat to international peace and security and an unprecedented challenge, due to the characteristics it has assumed, with ambitions of conquering and administering territories under a programme aimed at bringing the peoples under the yoke of darkness and obscurantism in total contravention with the norms of civilized existence and in total denial of diversity, be it cultural, racial or religious. Contemporary terrorists, with their backward interpretation of religion, are turning the present world into a dangerous place in which to live. In Africa, terrorism is spreading widely and dangerously.”

The joint transition plan is also aimed at identifying areas in which further support from international partners, including the United Nations, is needed.”
