Abstract
This chapter discusses the existing literature and theoretical frames are utilized to explain counterterrorism and human rights issues resulting from measures adopted in Africa in countering terrorism. Drawing on research from a broad range of fields and disciplines that integrate various approaches, the war approach vis-a-vis the military model is a dominant counterterrorist policy in Africa. The war on terrorism in Africa started around the 1990s due to the intensified terrorist attacks against the United States and other Western interests in certain parts of Africa, Kenya, Sudan, and Somalia in particular. The events of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks also intensified the focus of the international community in fighting the war on terror in Africa. The South African Police Service is in productive counterterrorism cooperation with United States law enforcement to help improve security, enhance risk management efforts, and develop better strategies for protecting its borders.
