AS major international media outlets report that about 2000 innocent Nigerians have been killed in one attack by Boko Haram on Baga few days ago, the US-based Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans have declared that it may have to formally request the United Nations to intervene in Northeastern Nigeria. According to a statement released in New York by the organisation, “at this point, the Christian Association of Nigerian-Americans (CANAN) may be left with no other option than to ally with other frontline groups in the international community regarding the situation and formally ask the UN to invoke the Responsibility to Protect doctrine as enshrined in article 1 of the Genocide Convention regarding the areas in Northeastern Nigeria that are being ravaged by terrorists.” CANAN noted that numbers of the dead and wounded are adding up fast and “it is becoming clearer and clearer that the Nigerian governments both federal and states are failing resoundingly in their responsibility to protect innocent lives.” The US-based group said these atrocities “are increasingly becoming worse and worse as times go by. He who feels it knows it!” The association noted that media reports quoted Nigerian security forces as saying they “have responded rapidly, and have deployed significant military assets and conducted air strikes against militant targets.” CANAAN, however, said it would hope the Nigerian security forces would curb the situation permanently. Said the statement: “Our hope and prayer now is that this response is sustained and becomes effective to significantly curb the terrorists’ violence in that region of Nigeria, failing which we may consider embarking on opening consultations with the UN Security Council and the UN Secretariat on how to invoke the international community’s moral responsibility to take action.” Such intervention would require the UN’s highest decision making organ, the Security Council, to invoke the global body’s Responsibility to Protect doctrine to impose peace on the situation according to the Geneva Convention. The UN Council may then consider sending international peacekeepers to the area similar to what has been done in places like Darfur, in Sudan, in Congo, Liberia and other places around the world. According to the United Nations’ Responsibility to Protect doctrine, the duty to prevent and halt genocide and mass atrocities lies first and foremost with the State, yet “the international community has a role that cannot be blocked by the invocation of sovereignty.” Specifically, that doctrine says, “sovereignty no longer exclusively protects states from foreign interference.” The United Nations Security Council was, Thursday in New York, briefed about the worsening situation in the Northeastern parts of Nigeria. The conclusion of the report put before the Council was that “Counter- insurgency measures have failed to provide adequate Protection Of Civilians in Northeastern Nigeria.” www.guardiannewsngr.com/news/national-news/193499-baga-killings-us-group-may-seek-security-council-s-intervention |

Unfortunately,no direct flights to Otueke,no problem,Jonathan's 11th jet will see him through to Yenagoa,he shouldn't worry,N250 for Canoe ride to Otueke won't be a problem for Buhari to pay. As we speak,he's still clueless of Baga Massacre. |
