International leaders are converging on Paris to pay their respects and to participate in the silent national march tomorrow, Sunday. This marks the end of the bloody sieges during which 17 innocent people lost their lives at the hands of terrorists !
It must be hoped that, when everyone meets informally and discusses these tragic events, they will all agree that a round table discussion must soon take place to ensure better international co-ordination to track and to fight-off further terrorist attacks !
Our last article published yesterday (1), comments on the radio and TV, as well as in Press Reports today, all question the international efficiency of the fight against Terrorism !
Leaders are already leaning in this direction, in particular Donald Tusk, the current President of the European Council who has earmarked the EU summit on February 12, 2015 to debate this subject.
This is, however, more than just an EU problem; it concerns other Continents as well ! In the end it is the specialists on security rather than the National Leaders who need to meet and who then must report back to their Leaders !
Improvements are possible and one should act now while the iron is still hot !
