.@NCTC_Kenya participated in the High-Level African Lessons Learned Forum on Counter-Terrorism Cooperation, Intelligence Sharing, and Emerging Technologies, held in #Abuja, Nigeria, on 26 to 27 October 2026. The forum was convened by Nigeria's @nctconsa in collaboration with the @_AfricanUnion, with support from @EUinKenya and @UNODC.
Representing the Director General, the Deputy Director General, Brig Gen Yahya Abdilkadir Mohamed, MBS, OGW, ndc(K), psc(EG), shared Kenya's experience on how terrorist networks adapt and why they endure. He underscored that lasting results depend on understanding the human and ideological terrain that sustains violent extremist groups and on denying them the ability to regenerate.
Kenya remains committed to practical, practitioner-led cooperation with African partners in intelligence sharing, prevention and community resilience.

🇳🇬 A Milestone for Nigeria. A Commitment to Africa.
The National Counter Terrorism Centre (NCTC), Office of the National Security Adviser, has been designated a Regional Centre of Excellence for Counterterrorism in West Africa and the Sahel.
The designation underscores Nigeria’s growing role in advancing regional cooperation, intelligence sharing, capacity building and coordinated responses to the evolving threat of terrorism.

“Behind each of these numbers are people whose hopes for their children are no different from our own.”
In her message to the African Lessons Learned Forum on CT/PVE, UN Deputy Sec.-General @AminaJMohammed reminds us of the people at the heart of our counter-terrorism efforts.
It’s Day 2 of the Forum!
Today’s discussions turn to the practical challenges of cooperation across Africa, from building trust for intelligence sharing & disrupting terrorist financing to harnessing technology and supporting community resilience.

What does it take to respond effectively to an evolving terrorist threat?
Today’s discussions examined this from several angles: the state of terrorism in Africa, experiences in CT/PCVE, changes in terrorist structures & tactics, & the implications of emerging technologies.
Terrorism continues to evolve. So must our response.
The 2-day African Lessons Learned Forum on CT starts today.
Stakeholders will examine threat & share lessons to strengthen prevention, response & reg cooperation.
