A word from the Director

Creating bonds with the community of researchers, analysts, professionals, what is more natural for a center dedicated to studies and research such as the African Center for Studies and Research on Terrorism.

Thousand paths are available for the construction of such a link.

Deciding to go through the Internet, the global computer network is an ideal avenue nowadays, the new communications tool offering, by virtue of its proximity and speed, considerable benefits in the exchange of human thought.

So, it is a pleasure to welcome all of you on the website of the African Center for Studies and Research on Terrorism (ACSRT), website whose domain name is the following: www.caert.org.dz

This site was designed in order to allow you all, professionals, analysts, researchers, experts, students, to collect critical information about our structure, its organization, its activities of analysis, research and training in the framework of our missions of prevention and combating terrorism.

Terrorism, which is a major threat to international peace and security, has become a real subject of analysis. Filling up our thoughts and nourishing our fears, terrorism rebounds in our readings and feeds our interrogations.

Why terrorism? What do the terrorists want? Why do they resort to these types of actions that offend the human conscience? How should we, as democratic societies respectful of human rights, ensure our collective protection and combat with efficiency such unbearable violence? What strategy of response should be put in place on the African Continent in response to these new forms of violence?

For all these issues that are fueling the chronic, we have decided to establish this interactive website for a better sharing of information and knowledge.

This tool is both at your disposal and ready to listen and respond to you.
The interactive site, that we want soon fully developed, will become what your invigorating curiosity and your critical and friendly eye shall want it to become.
