In this week’s edition of Pambazuka News (@FahamuAfrica), I gave a critical analysis of USA’s ‘Christian-genocide’ narrative that is parroted by @RepRileyMoore. I asked ‘why would we be told to forego important bilateral agreements with Russia & China?’

Long overdue!

[Oua-Z-R @Wazeerr]

We need state police units like other federating countries. People may resort to self-harm & reprisals if kidnapping for ransom persists. The social contract between the state & the citizenry is already breached.
@officialABAT, @oyostategovt, @OyoPoliceNG @OfficialDSSNG. Act now!

LG autonomy is the way to go! Not only is it better for executing local projects and listening to members of the local communities, it will also help in dealing with insecurity. @seyimakinde may not be fit for any executive federal role. He was against LG autonomy.

I had 20 patients in my Pediatric War Injuries Clinic today, for follow-up care.

Of the 20 children, Israel had killed one or both parents of 19 of them.

This is the case on social media these days!

Bandits need to be hunted and exterminated. Nobody is authorised to live in the forest. Create a strong force to exterminate bandits and punish their apologists.

Ignore the two foolish groups below:

[Oua-Z-R @Wazeerr]

إنما جزاء الذين يحاربون الله ورسوله ويسعون في الأرض فسادا أن يقتلوا أو يصلبوا أو تقطع أيديهم وأرجلهم من خلاف أو ينفوا من الأرض ذلك لهم خزي في الدنيا ولهم في الآخرة عذاب عظيم

@Necessary_Cho You’re the one misunderstanding their agenda which is Islamization which would place their Fulani tribes as the number one citizen because Fulani controls everything Islam in Nigeria

[Oua-Z-R @Wazeerr]

They need severe punishment. You don’t preach to criminals. You punish them. They should experience the same pain they inflict on others. A time may come when other groups that associate them with crimes will give them a taste of their medicine.

[Oua-Z-R @Wazeerr]

No. You don’t need extra Islamic study to know that hurting others is bad, except if you’re saying that crime and inhumane practices are a structured part of their culture. They need to be disciplined first. Some of them must be executed or sentenced to life imprisonment.

[Salihu Umar @Necessary_Cho]

You have been misinformed. One of the ethnic groups historically closest to Islam is the Fulani tribe, yet far distant from it in practice due to illiteracy, both Islamic & western,

Most nomads roaming the bush need Islamic knowledge, as much as you do. It is one of the arguments made by Sheikh Dr. Ahmad Gumi that holds some degree of validity.

We need to preach the true message of Islam to these bandits. Perhaps a better understanding of scripture can help bring us peace, since both the carrot & the stick have largely proven ineffective.

[Oua-Z-R @Wazeerr]

Anyone that’s remotely caught aiding bandits and banditry should be punished. The same for anyone appealing for leniency towards bandits. These lots are hardened criminals.

Students and teachers from Oyo State are still held in captivity by bandits. They are beaten and tortured.

@jujutsuKenya @mmghenyi_ It’s not true. It’s the market that determines how it works.

بعد اعتقال الشيخ كيندو.. تراوري يهاجم قادة التطرف: "منافقون" و"أدوات للإمبريالية"

#BurkinaFaso #Mali #Niger #JNIM
صعّد رئيس بوركينا فاسو النقيب إبراهيم تراوري لهجته ضد الجماعات المتطرفة، متهماً قادتها بـ"النفاق" واستغلال الدين لتضليل الشباب، ومؤكداً أنهم ليسوا سوى "أدوات لمشاريع إمبريالية" تستهدف تقويض استقرار البلاد وتمزيق نسيجها الاجتماعي.

وقال تراوري إن قادة التنظيمات المسلحة يرسلون الشباب إلى ساحات القتال بعد إخضاعهم لعمليات "غسيل أدمغة" تقوم على التكفير والتحريض، بينما يعيش هؤلاء القادة بعيداً عن المخاطر التي يدفعون أتباعهم إليها. وأضاف أن التطرف الفكري يظل البوابة الرئيسية التي تنفذ منها الجماعات المسلحة لتجنيد المقاتلين وتوسيع نفوذها.

وأعلن الرئيس البوركيني تبني مقاربة تقوم على بناء "خطاب ديني بديل" بمشاركة العلماء والقيادات الدينية، بهدف تفكيك سردية الجماعات المتشددة وتجفيف منابع التجنيد في المدن والقرى على حد سواء.

وتأتي تصريحات تراوري في ظل أجواء مشحونة أعقبت اعتقال الشيخ الدكتور محمد إسحاق كيندو، رئيس مجلس علماء أهل السنة وأحد أبرز الأصوات الدينية في البلاد، وهي الخطوة التي أثارت احتجاجات وانتقادات واسعة داخل الأوساط السنية. ويرى مراقبون أن توقيت الخطاب الرئاسي يعكس حساسية المعركة الفكرية والدينية التي تخوضها السلطات بالتوازي مع الحرب الأمنية ضد الجماعات المرتبطة بتنظيمي القاعدة و"داعش" في منطقة الساحل.

وتواجه بوركينا فاسو منذ سنوات تصاعداً غير مسبوق في هجمات الجماعات المسلحة، ما دفع السلطات إلى توسيع نطاق المواجهة من الميدان العسكري إلى المجالين الفكري والديني في محاولة لوقف تدفق المجندين الجدد إلى صفوف التنظيمات المتطرفة.

@theOlaBola Looking forward to reading your‘Ori-ọba’ thesis!

[Oua-Z-R @Wazeerr]

@femiogunleye9 Well, that does not have anything to do with Yoruba Muslims or the organisers of the conference he attended. I am sure many Muslims do not agree with his views on how to resolve the issue of banditry.
