Sources have stated that Theresa May will warn world leaders they must move quickly to stop Isis gaining a foothold in other African countries, in a bid to demonstrate that the UK is still at the forefront of the fight against terrorism and has suggested inaction could allow the terror group’s fighters to establish themselves in sub-Saharan nations.
Meanwhile an UK official has said that she will be warning leaders that as we make progress against Daesh [Isis] in places like Iraq and Syria and Libya and squeeze down the territory they can occupy there, we need to watch for terrorists moving to other countries in that region.
It is stated that Mrs. May will push world leaders to work together as they have been doing to recapture territory in Syria and Iraq and the Prime Minister will make tackling the terror threat a key part of her G20 summit after warning that a UK strike was highly likely in the wake of recent attacks on mainland Europe.
Sources have added that the threat from international terrorism has been "severe" since 2014, when it was upgraded from "substantial" and the fight against Isis is also likely to come up in key bilateral meetings with US President Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
