Terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political, religious, or ideological aims, often to create fear and coerce governments or populations.
Motivations vary widely, including political grievances, religious extremism, ideological beliefs, nationalism, and socio-economic factors, often fueled by perceived injustice or a desire for radical change.
Terrorism causes loss of life, physical and psychological trauma, economic disruption, increased security measures, and can erode trust within communities and governments, often leading to social and political instability.
Strategies include law enforcement actions, intelligence gathering, international cooperation, counter-radicalization programs, economic sanctions, and military interventions, alongside addressing root causes like poverty and political grievances.
