UN Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Muhammed says Sub-Saharan Africa now accounts for nearly 59 per cent of all terrorism-related deaths globally in spite of the continued effort by member states to end it, 

Speaking yesterday during a UN Security Council meeting on the maintenance of international peace and security, according to Muhammed, for three years, terrorism related deaths have soared past 6000 making up more than half of all global fertilities.

She said Burkina Faso now leads the world in terrorism deaths with a staggering 68 per cent increase, and with little support to reverse the trend.

The UN Deputy Secretary-General said terrorism thrives on fragility and feeds off poverty, inequality, and disillusionment, while noting that terrorist networks are now pooling resources, finances, fighters and expertise, while sharpening their capabilities of new technologies, including unmanned aerial systems.
