On April 13, an armed group, Al-Qaeda of Islam Morocco-Algeria-Tunisia(AQIM), attacked on three hotels and 18 people died in south Cote d’Ivoire, Grand-Bassam. AQIM, which is the international terrorism organization of Al-Qaeda, took out a claim of responsibility. In the Grand-Bassam, historical streets at the former capital of the French colony age are left and the city is registered as the world’s cultural and natural heritage of UNESCO. The beach was popular among Westerners, so many tourists were visiting there. In the South African countries, the event which many exclusive hotels are attacked by armed groups since last year and it is thought that AQIM participate in these crimes.
These days many acts of terrorism are performed by international terrorist groups. The world people are feeling uneasy about the terrorism. The world people, especially western people, think that the terrorism is due to Middle East Islamic people. However, I think that the terrorism has its source in not being able to understand the difference in culture. So, people should talk over the difference to understand each other. People do not know about Islam and Christianity completely. It led to the terrorism. Talking over their culture with world people is a fantastic story, but it is important thing in the world today.
