Under the Safe School Initiative, a "safe school" means perimeter fencing, trained security personnel, alarm systems, CCTV cameras, rapid-response linkages to security forces, and emergency-trained school committees.

This research article by Nima Karimi examines how the Islamic concept of the “punishment of the grave” is used in jihadist narratives, and how exemption from it may shape radicalisation pathways, especially in prison contexts.

Report of another #ISWAP leader killed in an airstrike. If true, this is important, as Khalifa Umar (aka Mamman Khalifa or Muhammad Khalifa) was the senior judge in ISWAP and a member of its shura.

Somalia 🇸🇴 BREAKING: Heavy fighting is being reported in the capital city Mogadishu. Residents are fleeing their homes.

This doesn't sound like some small skirmish.

[Brant @BrantPhilip_]

ISWAP announced through their unofficial media that all routes of "hijrah" meaning migration for foreign fighters to ISWAP are now closed due to "attacks of the American dogs and the apostates of Nigeria", and that the situation is too dangerous.

The Safe Schools Initiative to improve security around schools was launched in the aftermath of the Chibok abductions. However, its implementation has been bogged down by bureaucratic roadblocks and allegations of corruption. As a result, many northern states have closed hundreds of schools indefinitely, disrupting the education of thousands of children:

TRAGEDY 🇳🇬💔: Fresh Night Attack Hits Mangu, Plateau State – 11 Reportedly Killed in Two Separate Assaults by Fulani Militias.

[Bakatsine @DanKatsina50]

BREAKING: At least 17 people have been killed in Dangulbi, Tureta LGA of Sokoto State after heavily armed bandits stormed the community during Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

Among the victims were 7 visitors who had travelled to Dangulbi to spend the festive period with their families. The attackers reportedly looted shops, displaced residents and left the community in mourning instead of celebration.

The latest attack adds to growing concerns over persistent insecurity across Nigeria, where civilians continue to bear the brunt of armed violence.

How many more lives must be lost before communities can celebrate in peace and security?

@welt Man muss die Programme - vor allem für junge Männer - vor Ort so interessant machen, dass sie gar nicht daran denken abzuwandern.
Das ist machbar.

@StefanKooths Habeck hat Recht. Der Kauf europäischer Produkte ist besser selbst wenn er teurer ist.
Das Konzept des komparativen Vorteils ist mit Schuld an der gegenwärtigen Misere.
