Only Good Governance Can Stem Terrorism –obama by mrkel(m): 7:54am On Jun 30, 2013
United States (US) President, Barack Obama, has said terrorism will likely rear its head in countries lacking  democratic tenets. Obama stated this in Soweto, South Africa, while interacting with Young African Leaders. The US President said it was his strong belief that terrorism is more likely to emerge and take root where countries are not delivering for the people and where there is social conflict underlining frustrations that have not been adequately dealt with.

Obama said: “So, there is need to build that institution called responsiveness in governance and in democracy. Those things become defence mechanisms against terrorism.

“If you have a country that has high illiteracy rate you are going to have these problems. This is also a problem in the US, not only in Africa. That is why I want to push the US Congress to improve early college education.

“Across the border, we are having a rethink on education and workforce strength and one of them  we want to do is to partner with Nigeria in identifying with whether we can train teachers by incorporating technology into the education process,” Obama said.

President Obama also said the US would like to build African capacity, noting that the US wanted the African Union and other regional organizations to send in peace keepers.

“We can provide advice and training, and in some cases, equipment. That is what we can do, but what we won’t do is to stand by and watch our embassies being attacked. So, we need countries to work with us in order to do away with some of these things,” he said.

Good governance, yes, but not only. So drones and guns don't but you still use them. Most of the guys that carried out 911 attack were from Saudi Arabia, is that also because of bad governance? What about their belief and ideology? Oga Obama, you are not preaching to Adamus

So the cause of domestic and international terrorism in america is lack of good governance?
