Introduction ince the early 20th Century, Africa has witnessed varying degrees of subversion from the Mau Mau nationalist campaigners in Kenya in the 1950s to acts by rebel groups in the infamous intrastate wars Sof Sub-Saharan Africa. While the first movement evolved mainly from political acts geared towards the struggle for independence, the latter was mostly evident in attempts to obtain psychological or strategic advantages by combatants in the brutal civil wars of Liberia, Sierra Leone, the African Great Lakes region and a number of such civil war theatres in Africa.

Vaidya P.G. Student, Department of Computer Engineering, Amrutvahini Engineering College, Sagamner, Maharashtra, India1 Professor, Department of Computer Engineering, Amrutvahini Engineering College, Sagamner, Maharashtra, India2 ABSTRACT:Social media are perhaps the richest source of human generated text input. Opinions, feedbacks and criticisms provided by internet users reflect attitudes and feelings towards certain topics and issues. The large volume of such information makes it impossible for any group of people to read it. Thus, social media has become an important tool for spreading their opinions and influencing or attracting people in general to join their terrorist activities. Twitter is the most common and simple way to reach many people in a short time. In this paper, focused on the development of a system that can automatically detect terrorism-supporting tweets by real-time analytics using apache spark machine learning framework. Proposed system is entirely dependent on training data and tries to improve accuracy. This system will help to block the terrorist accounts from twitter so that they can’t promote their views or spread fear among ordinary people. KEYWORDS:terrorist activities, text mining, sentiment analysis, social media, machine learning. I. INTRODUCTION Social media, today, plays arguably a very essential part in a life of not only an individual but also in functioning of a government.

  • Islamic Radicalization in the Uk: Index of Radicalization
    ISLAMIC RADICALIZATION IN THE UK: INDEX OF RADICALIZATION Anna Wojtowicz, (Research Assistant, ICT) Sumer 2012 ABSTRACT The purpose of this paper is to analyze the process of radicalization amongst British Muslims in the United Kingdom. It begins with a review of the Muslim population, demographics and community structure. Further presenting several internal and external indicators that influenced and led to radicalization of Muslim youth in Britain. The paper concludes that there is no one certainty for what causes radicalization amongst Muslims in United Kingdom. However, it is certain that Islamic radicalization and the emergence of a homegrown threat is a growing trend that jeopardizes the countries security, peace and stability. Radicalization in the United Kingdom is an existing concern that needs to be addressed and acted upon immediately. Misunderstanding or underestimating the threat may lead to further and long term consequences. * The views expressed in this publication are solely those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism (ICT). 2 I.
