In the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris, one thing is crystal clear: the current strategy against Isis and its affiliates isn’t working as it should. The spread of the Islamic State group and its hate preachers is now widespread across the globe. Isis is flourishing.

The horrendous attack in Paris was the worst terrorist attack in Europe in more than a decade. It continued to demonstrate just how sophisticated Isis has become. There is an urgent need for change in the European Union’s approach to the flood of migrants and refugees crossing Europe’s borders.

It is of the utmost importance for European leaders to screen these refugees coming to our shores because some of these attackers are sneaking into Europe through Greece along with the tens of thousands of migrants. The attacks in Paris and Beirut were meticulously planned and took everyone by surprise.

Even the downing of the Russian plane on its way to St Petersburg was planned to the last full stop by these daredevils. In the face of this crisis, does the US-led coalition need to revamp its present strategy in defeating Isis in the Middle East? Ramping continuous air strikes against Isis in Iraq and Syria is important but attacking Isis in a unified land invasion would give a much better result.

We’ve heard a lot of talk lately about a new approach to tackle this avalanche of refugees. However, many politicians seem more interested in posing for the cameras than focusing on an honourable solution to this crisis.

They find it more relaxing travelling from one place to another, organising summits with exquisite food and nice refreshments... than getting a grip on themselves to eradicate this problem once and for all.
