Boko Haram Insurgents
BY TheCable
The international community has been asked to rise against the killings of innocent Nigerians by the Islamic State of West African Province (ISWAP) operating around the Lake Chad Basin Region.
Save Humanity Advocacy Centre said world leaders must act fast to curb the activities of the insurgents.
While addressing a press conference, Grace Akatu, executive director of the group, said activities of ISWAP have become a source of concern, given the way and manner it has continued to maim, harass and kill innocent people, especially women and children.
The group, therefore, called for urgent intervention from countries around the world to join forces with the Nigerian authorities in combating the “menace of ISWAP”
Full text of her speech below:
The activities of ISWAP has constituted an enormous threat to the economies of countries around the Lake Chad basin such Cameroon, Niger, and Chad, hence the need for urgent intervention in a bid to address the menace that activities of ISWAP have posed in the Lake Chad Basin region.
The Nigerian Authorities cannot address the ISWAP challenge alone; it consequently behoves on all well-meaning countries to join forces with Nigeria in confronting this terrorist organization.
The Save Humanity Advocacy Centre believes that if the activities of ISWAP are not curtailed, peace and meaningful development might elude the countries in the Lake Chad Basin region and beyond.
The atrocities committed by ISWAP in the region are unimaginable and should be of great concern to lovers of peace and sustainable development around the world.
The Save Humanity Advocacy Centre consequently calls on all the countries in the world to see the threat posed by ISWAP as a global threat rather than a regional threat because of the support it enjoys from international terrorist networks around the world.
The Save Humanity Advocacy Centre also calls of international humanitarian organizations such as the United Nations and its affiliates to rise to this challenge posed by ISWAP in a bid to ensure that the world is a better place and women and children are protected from harm.
The Save Humanity Advocacy Centre reiterates that the efforts of the Nigerian Authorities must be complemented in a bid to rid ISWAP out of the Lake Chad Basin region in the overall interest of peace.
We consequently believe that the urgency of now requires that all the necessary support the world can avail Nigeria should be given in the quest to defeat terrorism in Nigeria, as well as the Lake Chad Basin region. The world must indeed act fast.
