Jihadists Have Recruited Heavily From Fulani Pastoralists Across West Africa —Report
•The crisis may engulf coastal West Africa —Burkina Faso’s Foreign Minister •10 million people in Lake Chad area need urgent help —UN


There are fears that the current security problems wracking the country could become worsened soon with reports that jihadists across the West African region are recruiting heavily from aggrieved Fulani pastoralists.

While the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), fears a hike in the population of the displaced in West Africa, other reports warned that militant groups in the Sahel are on their way down to West African coastal countries.


Sahel countries are Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Southern Algeria, Niger, North of Nigeria, Central Chad, Central and Southern Sudan, the extreme north of South Sudan, Eritrea, Cameroon, Central African Republic and the extreme north of Ethiopia.


The coastal countries of the West African region under these threats are Nigeria, Cape Verde, Mali, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Benin, Guinea Bissau, Ghana, The Gambia, Cote d’Ivoire, Sao Tome and Principe and Mauritania.

The New Humanitarian news agency (formerly IRIN) a few days ago released a detailed report on the security crisis which may threaten the coastal West Africa with invasion by the militias.

According to the news agency, jihadist groups have recruited heavily from Fulani pastoralists, which it described as “an ethnic group that suffers from social exclusion as well as government and development programmes that favour agriculturalists.” The report added that this has raised tensions with members of other ethnic groups who say they are targeted by the jihadists.


“In the absence of the state, some have turned to self-defence militias, who have indiscriminately attacked Fulani communities,” it said.

“Failure to contain the insurgencies,” it said, “could also result in further regional destabilisation, with militant groups now moving southwards from Burkina Faso towards Ghana, Togo, Ivory Coast, and Benin, where two French tourists were recently kidnapped,” the report said.

“It’s no longer just the Sahel, it’s coastal West Africa and the risk of spreading regionally,” Burkina Faso Foreign Minister, Alpha Barry, told a security conference in Munich in February.

If one gravitates towards their ideology then this is no news.
It’s pretty hard to force unwilling participants to fight wars they do not understand nor care about.
I know very well a lot of captives will pick death no matter how gruesome over working free of charge for murderous lots.

I'm going to blame the governments , past and present, for not aggresively doing things like modernising cattle rearing, preventing the encroachment of the Sahara, and at the same time for not planning for the population expolsion that is fuelling this crisis.

Establishing ranches in the far North., with training in modern dairy farming, fixing the railways, so that cows can be transported via rail to the South, and also encuraging farmers to practice better farming practieces like crop rotation which enables much to be done on little land could acheive more.

At the same time, we need to plant trees , massively plant trees in the far North, to stop the Sahara from encroaching. Boko Haram must be defeated well well.

We must move fast, so that Boko Haram does not have work for idle disgruntled hands.

I respect their reporting so I'll consider it. What percentage of these foreigners are recruited vs domestic. I contend it's in Nigeria it's the locals causing the crimes. Its just shows border security is more important than ever.

Chatham House: Security reform suggestions

• End Security votes
•Create US-style inspector general offices tasked with exposing corruption, revealing waste and protecting whistle-blowers.
• Consolidate the numerous security agencies and integrate each of them into either the military and police.
• Consolidate Military support functions by creating joint combat support agencies that could help the force improve its dismal ratio of non-combat elements to frontline units.

Buhari PERSONALLY Gave Orders That Goje's N25b Fraud Case Be Withdrawn.

I learned from someone who witnessed Danjuma Goje's meeting with Buhari in Aso Rock that it was Buhari who PERSONALLY gave orders that Goje's N25b fraud case be withdrawn.
It was the condition Goje gave Buhari for supporting Ahmed Lawan for senate President. This isn't an unsubstantiated rumour. I swear by the Holy Qur'an that this was what actually happened. My dad was a Quranic teacher. I, too, learned it from him-- and taught it for 5 years. I know the implications of my swearing. Wallahi tallahi, Buhari is DIRECTLY involved in giving Goje a reprieve from EFCC.
Of course, Buhari is himself a fraudster and has always been, so this didn't come to me as a surprise. I just pity the hordes of headless imbeciles who still think this old, duplicitous rogue embodies "integrity." - Prof Farooq Kperogi.
