Tswalu Discussion
Africa & International Terrorism
The Brenthurst Foundation hosted a dialogue on Africa and international
terrorism from 25 to 27 January 2007 with the aim of determining whether an
emergent threat existed, the likely magnitude and manifestation of this threat,
its potential effect and whether the region had the capacity to contain it
– should it arise.
Participation by the South African Intelligence Services, including the
Minister, the US National Intelligence Council, the UNODC, Institute for
Security Studies and the SA Institute for International Affairs, ensured the
quality of the debate – with particular value being derived from the
formal participation of the respective intelligence communities.
Due to the sensitivity of some of the discussions and an agreement on
non-attribution, a report on the conference proceedings was not published.
There are however certain papers that were presented without restriction and
these, along with an article by Greg Mills which emanated from the conference,
are available below.
