The Role of the State in the Prevention of Terrorism

The report argues that terrorism is often a symptom of a state's failure to provide security and legitimacy to its citizens. In Chad, the document suggests that the state's approach to security has historically been focused on regime survival rather than inclusive governance, which can create grievances that terrorist groups exploit. It emphasizes that effective prevention requires a transition from purely military responses to a comprehensive strategy involving the rule of law, social justice, and the inclusion of marginalized populations.
