Let me begin with a phrase mostly agreed by scholars that, security is a ‘contested concept’ and there is a consensus that it implies freedom from threats to core values (for both individual and groups). However, there is a major disagreement about whether the main focus of internal security should be on individual, national or international. Some security experts argued that the concept of security has always been associated with the safety and survival of the State and its citizens from harm or destruction or from dangerous threats. Therefore, it is right to say that in totality the concept is that the State is the only institution that is saddled with the primary responsibility and power for the safety of its territory and its people. Therefore, the concept of security in this discussion is operationalized within the context of a nation hence the concept of internal security.
