Reports coming out of Mubi and Vimtim of major setbacks in the war against terrorism are distressing. Our thoughts and prayers are with our troops and those besieged by those marauding terrorists. May God keep you safe and grant us victory. It is becoming clear that the government lacks any coherent strategy on fighting terrorism. Any strategy for fighting terrorism must revolve around the 4Ds (Defeat, Deny, Diminish and Defend). That entails DEFEATING terrorism by exposing its sponsors and disrupting its support, DENYING it sanctuary and flushing it out of its safe havens, DIMINISHING the underlying conditions that terrorists seek to exploit like radicalism, intolerance and underdevelopment, and DEFENDING against new threats and proliferation of existing ones by targeting terrorist infrastructure wherever it exists. On the humanitarian level, the authorities must make provisions to feed the millions that are hungry, provide clothing and shelter for those displaced, and medical care and rehabilitation for the wounded and deeply traumatized. I strongly believe that Nigeria will not only defeat terrorism, but will succeed in bringing its sponsors and supporters to justice, no matter how long. May God help our troops. God bless Nigeria!
