Cameroon - Honor and Loyalty : September 11, 2001: sad terrorist memory

September 11, 2001, a date that made a rather devastatingstart inhistory. Twenty years ago, on that faithful day the entire planet witnessed dumbfounded strange spectacle of destruction by aircrafts transformed into ballistic missiles, symbols of the vitality of international trade then on the path to globalization. These are the twin towers of the World Trade Center, New York, United States of America. The unprecedented daring of the operation, the weight of the tragedy perpetrated and the excitement aroused, were match only by the power of the state thus struck to theheart.

Once the natural compassion of being at the sight of such a tragedy had passed, a retrospective fear eventually won over those who until then had believed themselves to be immune from terrorism, that abominable obscurantist and radicaldesolation, to which a merciless war would be declared. Something that was done with all business ceasing, with numerous and ever-increasingmeans.
