My essay is about the effect of terrorism or acts of terror on children in a society. I chose this topic because it is not only important to me, but if brought to the attention of the government and the general public, it will help the future of a nation. The current acts of terrorism in Nigeria and the abduction of over 200 girls (children) in the country, which has now become an international issue, will be the focus of my discussion. The Federal Republic of Nigeria is a country on the African continent, comprising 36 states and its federal capital territory, Abuja. Nigeria is often called "the giant of Africa" ​​due to its large population and economy, an oil-rich country with an estimated population of 174,507,539 million, of which 10.61% are estimated to be children. due to the country's high fertility rate. the Country. The country is inhabited by more than 500 ethnic groups and is divided in two between Christians who live mainly in the south and center and Muslims who are concentrated in the north. The country experienced a civil war in the past (1967-1970). ), which led to the death of old and young people and scars of terror and fear in the hearts of people and society. However, the recent insurgency in the country has left it in a high state of insecurity and has attracted international attention. Terrorism only refers to acts of violence intended to create fear (terrorism), carried out for religious, political or ideological purposes and targeting or deliberately ignoring the safety of non-combatants. Nigeria's war on terrorism has been going on since 2002, when the northeast-based Islamic jihadist and takfiri terrorist group called "Boko Haram" launched...... middle of paper ......d a pastor (my mother) in Nigeria. The attacks mainly target women and Christians; the kidnapped girls are mostly Christians. I fear that if nothing is done, the lives of Christian women in Nigeria, including my mother, are in danger. In Nigeria, I have noticed that safety awareness compared to here in the United States is relatively low. My father was a soldier and worked in the United States. It will be part of my resources to help/contribute to making life and future possible for Nigerian children. I am now motivated to create a charity for children in affected countries. by terrorism. I will call on my mother for the religious point to help guide these children to God and I will use my father's safety knowledge to better understand the situation. Children should not be left to face the scars of terrorist acts and live without help..
