The Movadef Farce
On April 9, the government announced a devastating and definitive blow to terrorism in the country after detaining 24 people who were not carrying out or planning terrorist acts. Indeed, Movadef has never been accused of having carried out any terrorist attack. Nor has the Police found weapons, explosives, or training camps for armed actions in its possession. This supports the idea that it is a political maneuver by the government intended to show citizens that something is being done about security while covering up its outright failure in the fight against crime.
