Addressing a UN Security Council High Level Open Debate, MoS External Affairs V Muraleedharan said that the increasing spread of terrorism in Africa is a matter of serious concern.
India on Tuesday voiced serious concern over the increasing spread of terrorism in Africa, saying these terrorist forces and groups are receiving encouragement from member-states which seek to divide communities by legitimising terrorist activities.
"Terrorism is a clear manifestation of how forces inimical to unity and diversity can seek to destroy the social cohesion and democratic fabric of countries by, inter alia, fomenting disaffection, hatred and violence,” Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said.

Oil and gas refineries and hubs are up in flames not just in the Middle East, but also in Russia and the US. Crude oil prices have surged over $100 a barrel.
