Negotiate with Boko Haram as you did with Niger Delta militants, Borno elders tell FG

A set of community elders in northeast Nigeria in which Boko Haram has waged a bloody 8-yr insurgency are urging the Islamists to enter peace talks, a flow a few see as influenced by using ethnic self-interest.

  The Borno Elders forum of retired military and civilian officers, all ethnic Kanuri, stated it changed into “time they (Boko Haram) placed down their hands” and that they need to “repent and rejoin the bigger society”.

“If our leaders had the leeway to negotiate with the Boko Haram for the discharge of a number of their captives, they have to appoint the same procedures to barter for the quit of the insurgency,” they stated in a newspaper advertisement last Friday.

“The authorities of Nigeria had earlier negotiated with the Niger Delta militants and succeeded. let the government do the same with Boko Haram.”

President Muhammadu Buhari, a former military fashionable, has given no sign of trying to barter a agreement seeing that he got here to power in 2015.

  His authorities has, but, held lower back-channel talks that secured the release of extra than a hundred of the 219 Chibok schoolgirls kidnapped through Boko Haram in 2014.

 however the name for negotiations via the elders of Borno state, in which the Kanuri is the principle ethnic institution, has led to hypothesis that it's far pushed less by means of a desire for peace than via ethnic troubles.

– ‘Flying a kite’ –

Boko Haram’s ranks had been ruled by way of ethnic Kanuris. In its early days, the Islamist militant organization become recognised to have members from the households of the area’s political and spiritual elite.

  Abdullahi Bawa Wase, a security analyst who tracks the warfare, said the elders have been “flying a kite” to gauge response.

The peace talks concept “can be a Boko Haram idea being offered by the Borno elders on their behalf”, he stated.

  A senior member of the Civilian Joint challenge force (CJTF), the armed forces assisting the military with security, stated the concept changed into “in horrific religion”.

“The elders realize how to get in touch with their sons, nephews and brothers who're excessive-profile Boko Haram leaders,” he stated on situation of anonymity.

“in the event that they certainly mean what they say, they ought to convince their Boko Haram members of the family to give up membership of the group and give up.”

– Ethnic contention –

Kanuri dominance in Boko Haram sparked claims in the earlier levels of the violence that the rebellion become a push for a native land.

  Few preserve that view considering its chief Abubakar Shekau declared a caliphate in August 2014 and pledged allegiance to the Islamic country organization the following March.

  Ethnic contention has, but, been seen as having contributed to the religiously stimulated violence, adding some other layer of complexity to the conflict.

“human beings despise Boko Haram for the dying and destruction they reason,” stated Abubakar Gamandi, the head of the Borno state fishermen’s union.

“but in phrases of ethnic sentiments, some give tacit aid to them while the victims are non-Kanuri.

“Many Kanuris experience Boko Haram are weakening their ethnic adversaries towards whom they have been suffering for social, financial and political supremacy in Borno.”

The Kanuri specifically preserve political strength, even as the ethnic Hausa control agriculture, fishing and exchange, and the Fulani and Shuwa tribes dominate cattle herding.

  Tensions pre-date Boko Haram. The Nigerian army has previously accused the Borno elders of hampering the counter-insurgency.

   Gamandi cautioned the dimensions of assaults has had a tribal measurement.

“They (Boko Haram) wrought greater destruction and deaths on non-Kanuri towns and settlements populated by Hausa and Shuwa Arab than on Kanuris,” he stated.

– ‘Sworn enemies’ –

the decision for talks, at a time while the Nigerian navy is out to break Boko Haram, is considered with the aid of a few in the northeast as an strive at Kanuri self-maintenance.

the fear of losing an entire era of Kanuri guys, giving the top hand to the Hausa, Fulani and Shuwa, should give an explanation for the current surrender of Boko Haram warring parties to the military.

“The elite have been encouraging them to give up to the military via local community chiefs with promise they might make certain they are given soft landing and reintegrated into society,” said Gamandi.

every other potential worry for a lasting, lengthy-term peace is nearby attitudes to the insurgents after so much bloodshed and worry.

   Abba Aji-Kalli, the Borno kingdom coordinator of the CJTF, stated his so-referred to as vigilantes and the Islamists have been “sworn enemies” and might continue to be so, some thing happens.

“we are able to never see eyeball to eyeball with Boko Haram. not anything can alternate that,” he said.

An amnesty for repentant former insurgents “will never paintings” he delivered. “We realize that because we very well realize who they are. They lived among us, we grew up with maximum of them.”

Leaving Nnamdi Kanu To Go Free Without Punishment Is Unacceptable :Arewa Youths Says

ABUJA – Less than 75 days to the October 1 “quit notice” issued by a coalition of northern youths to Igbo leaving in the region, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council has met with the northern coalition with a view to charting a common course for peaceful co-existence of various groups in all parts of the country.

Speaking with Newsmen shortly after the meeting in Abuja, Chairman of the Coalition of Northern Youths, Yerima Shettima, who commended the move, said the peace meeting between the two groups however led to the formation of a six-member committee which will facilitate another meeting in the South-east.

On the Kaduna declaration of the coalition, Shettima said; “Leaving Nnamdi Kanu to go unpunished is totally unacceptable to us because he has so far done much damage on our psyche and our nation. So, for us we think the best we can do is to internationalize this struggle. Behind the background of what we are doing today, most likely in the event of anything falling short of what we agreed, of course we are already in the UN reporting this same character. That does not stop us discussing to arrive at a particular conclusion where we can have peace for the country.

“On our previous position, we have not officially withdrawn the quit notice given to the Igbos in the North but we said it few days ago that we will review our position and part of that steps is what we are taking now.”

While commending the Ohanaeze Youth Council for a fruitful discussion, Shettima said: “I thank God we are talking with a recognized body of entire youths organisation in the South-east called Ohanaeze Youth Council that is known everywhere. It means that this is a welcome development and we are happy that they have actually sought to get our audience to discuss the way forward out of all these uprisings.

“We are glad to get some words coming out from the leadership of Ohanaeze Youth Council specifically on the area of seeking to see us to discuss issues; it means they realized that we are very angry and a lot of things has falling out of place as a result of their short coming in the sense that if they had called the young man to order from time past we wouldn’t have gone to this extreme.

“The second one is the assurance gotten from the president of the council. If I quote him very well, he said; ‘Nnamdi Kanu is just looking for self recognition’, and we became more relaxed and comfortable getting that from him and third one is him making efforts to bring MASSOB and IPOB together for us to go into round table discussion. I think it is a welcome development.”

Also speaking, National President Ohanaeze Youth Council, Mazi Okechukwu Isigusoro, thanked the northern coalition for a fruitful deliberation, adding that the council believes in one Nigeria.

“We want to specially thank the Coalition of Northern Groups for accepting to host us in Abuja. Our talks have been very smooth beyond our expectations and we want to appreciate them knowing full well that we thought this talks would have ended in fiasco or taken a dangerous dimension but the way they have peacefully handled it shows that they are peaceful people. We commend them for that and also believe that through this dialogue we believe in the future that there will be no boycott of these talks and if followed peacefully, we will bring an end to some of our problems in this county.”
