The recent attacks across Africa are raising questions as to why militant groups are taking the war to the doorstep of African governments in apparent defiance of declarations of total war against their operations.
The Al shabaab have struck in Northern Kenya yet again even as President Uhuru’s Government declared its relentless war on the group.
The Boko Haram in Nigeria have apparently defied tough talk from newly sworn-in President Buhari killing hundreds since his inauguration.
The recent attack in Sinai, Egypt in which dozens of Egyptian soldiers and reportedly, over a hundred militants were killed yet another reminder of the militants determination to carry out their brazen attacks.
In the horn of Africa nation of Somalia, the Al-Shabaab recently killed at least 70 Burundian troops in an attack on an AMISOM base on the outskirts of the Capital, Mogadishu.
The emerging pattern is the more the leaders speak out against the militant groups, the harder the militants strike.
