In the current context where many countries are faced with terrorism, prevention, which is based on the identification of various pathways and causes of radicalization and on the means to defuse it, occupies a central place in the actions put in place. To this end, one of the essential aspects to take into account in order to defuse is the identification of indicators which show that an individual is in the process of falling into violent radicalization. This study with a theorical contribution was therefore initiated, in order to expand the knowledge of the scientific community on these indicators and allow a more indepth understanding of phenomenon. Thus, we propose on the basis of a rich literature obtained thanks to a documentary review in databases (PubMed, Google schoolar etc.), to understand the processus of adhesion to violent action and to imbue ourselves with these indicators. The expected results are the specification of these indicators with regard to the African socio-political context, and their taking into account in the formulation of an adapted public response in terms of early detection and support for the people concerned in terms of prevention violent radicalization.
