Explain the danger posed by Russia's breakaway states. Identify three examples of breakaway states.There is danger of out break of war and conflict among the break away states of Russia. The conflict will possibly be aggravated by territory demarcation requirements and citizenship for the breakaway States.

The international community is likely to be interrupted by the acquisition of independence of Kosovo as it breaks from Belgrade. Some U.N nations are purposing to decline the new state of independence of Kosovo. Examples of breakaway state include, Kosovo, South Ossetia and Abkhazia.

Abkhazia and South Ossetia broke away from Georgia yet Moscow is accused of it persistent conflicts in the region.2. Explain the demise of leftist terrorist cells in Europe.Leftist terrorist cells in Europe have disappeared due reduction of activity of the leftist extreme terrorist groups such as GRAPO (Grupos de Resistencia Antifascista Primero de Octubre) in Europe. These groups had operated on the principle of urban guerrilla tactics, although in Europe the leftist terrorist groups claimed to operate under the legacy of “anti- fascist guerilla fighter.” However, this contradicted their tactics of assassinations and kidnapping of target persons and military officers.

They were funded by bank robbery while fire arms were obtained from attacked armouries. They also got support from Baathist and Communist regime secret services, (White, J., 2008).  .

The demise of the leftist terrorists resulted from the development of Islamic religion in Arab region withdrawing support from the original groups in Europe. More so, it is believed that the end of communism led to their decline since they no longer receive support from secret groups. In addition, the government allowed the armed forces to uses extra force in the extermination of terrorism after the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S.3.

Discuss the differences between ethnic and nationalist extremists in Europe.Ethnic extremists are those marginalized person on basis of ethnicity such as the Spanish Basques and the Ulster Catholics. This marginalized ethic groups (ethnic minorities) end up using violence to fight for their rights. Other ethnic minorities include the Corsicans, Welsh, Bretons, South Tyrolese, Scots, and Galatians among others who may not use violence to seek recognition.Nationalist extremism is derived from the nationalist idea in which some groups of a nation fell more affiliated to political interests than others.

The case on leftist in Europe face nationalist extremism in which they have been sidelined yet they feel a sense of belonging from their nature of communism that is currently extinct.4. Describe the transformation of international jihadist groups in Europe.Jihadists in Europe have under gone a religious transformation forming family groups that are closely related to terrorism in the region.

There is a close relationship between terrorism in Europe and the Islamic Cultural Institute found in Milan. However, research has not disclosed the level at which this institute is associated to terrorism. According to research on this institute a small garage was transformed in to a mosque and after a short time the mosque was associated with cases of counterfeit, fraud, and forgery all of which are related to jihadist tradition in Europe, (Hamm, M., 2005).

In fact, Al- Qaeda is said to have evolved from jihadists beliefs which is a source of terror in most parts of Europe and the world as a whole the world. Al- Qaeda is said to a new form of terrorism in Europe which is related to a transformation of a number of Islamic related forms of worship closely linked to jihadism. Britain finds itself hosting so many trained members of Al-Qaeda who can enter freely to U.S and out without the need for visas. This poses more threat to the development of Europe and U.S.

many jihadists are all over in the region yet they are not easily distinguished from the rest of population. In other words, jihadist tradition has been transformed to the terror groups in Europe. Al-Qaeda is a close associate of jihadists’ tradition that is recruiting many members all over the world and bringing terror in Europe at large. It is therefore impossible for governments to be in favor with Muslim related citizens since they are associated with jihadists hence Al-Qaeda.
