Improvised explosive devices have been on the scene for a long time, and have been a source of fear for a very long time, but they continue to evolve and become more powerful. These IEDs are easy to obtain, and are extremely fatal. Most of the times they are used by terrorist groups in incidents to hurt innocent civilians through placement of these explosives.
It is safe to say that the delegation of South Africa is strongly against the production and distribution of improvised explosive devices. We are in the process of trying to develop and test ways to identify improvised explosive devices. We are open to any suggestions for techniques we can use to identify, disable, and detect these explosive devices. Too many instances of fatal bombings have happened in or near our country to ignore. We are in strong support of THAAD services to secure our citizens and spread awareness of the issue. Informing our citizen is another import element we have implemented.
Under absolutely no circumstances will the delegation of South Africa be in support of implementing these explosive devices. We would like to further inform and educate our citizens of the threat for their safety, and create support for those affected. We will be doing our best efforts to work with other countries in favor of a peaceful environment to find and disable these devices.
