In a report released on Tuesday, titled “The Big Spin”, Transparency International said Islamic State won’t be defeated unless the corrupt conditions that helped ISIS to thrive are addressed. The report said that ISIS had taken advantage of corruption to radicalize and recruit people, presenting itself as the antidote while ignoring its own dishonest activities.Director of Transparency International Defence and Security, Katherine Dixon, told the BBC. “The failure to grasp this undermines efforts to tackle the rise of violent extremism” and he added “Corruption is a real security threat, more than just a means for elites to line their pockets. In the end corrupt governments by fuelling public anger and undermining institutions, are the architects of their own security crises”.
