The recent revelations by international news media that Boko haram has pledged allegiance to ISIS has effectively brought to the fore the need to heed the call by the Egyptian president some weeks back for Nigeria and Egypt to lead an international coalition against ISIS in Libya.

It would be recalled that the Egyptian strongman made the call for a Nigeria-Egypt led force to aggressively confront and put down ISIS in libya to avoid it spreading its tentacles across africa.

Now that Boko haram has pledged allegiance publicly to the group and reports also that ISIS will soon release a video acknowledging their membership, I think the time has come for Nigeria and other African nations to sit up and face the challenge.

We need to nip the ISIS problem in the bud right now before it metamorphoses into a monster.

Libya is not so far from Nigeria.
The last thing we want right now is an endless stream of foreign fighters heading for Nigeria to support Boko haram.

Chad and Niger will be caught in a precarious position if ISIS bears down on them from the North and Boko Haram from the South.

The time to act is Now!!

The Egyptian Ambassador to Nigeria, Mr. Ashrat Salama, has called on Nigeria and the Africa Union (AU) to collaborate against the terrorist group, Islamic State and ensure the establishment of a multi-national force against it.

This, he said, is necessary to ensure that the terrorist group does not spread on the continent.

Speaking against the backdrop of air strikes recently carried out on IS targets in Libya by the Egyptian Air Force, Salama told journalists in Abuja monday that contrary to the propaganda by IS, no civilian was killed in the offensive.

Egypt carried out the offensive on IS training schools and ammunition storage in Libya in retaliation for the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by the group.

Salama particularly noted that it was necessary for Nigeria to work with Egypt to combat the terrorist group because both nations are not far from each other.

Both nations, he added, could also lead the call for a multi-national force on the continent as powerful voices in the AU.https://www.nairaland.com/2164238/egypt-calls-nigeria-egypt-led-force
