The Nigerian military has continued to receive accolades for their conduct in the duration of the sustained war against terrorism even as it has maintained good community relations though achieving remarkable success at controlling acts of violence in the North East.
The latest commendation was expressed by the Northern Coalition Against Terrorism, which has praised the army’s leadership for proper welfare and humanitarian assistance to communities hosting the war against terror.
The group which made this known in a press statement signed by its National Coordinator, Comrade Yusuf Mshelia, categorically lifted the Army’s yuletide engagements with the communities in the crisis affected regions.
According to Mshelia, the military’s latest extension of humanitarian gestures to the host communities is not only remarkable but also goes a long way in the overall success of the campaign against terror to give the people not only physical emancipation but also emotional respite.
“The kind gestures and humanitarian acts you see today exhibited by the Nigerian armed forces will go down in history as one of the cardinal steps at clearing the stripes caused by terrorism. It is a commendable effort just as it forms the base for a complete healing process for these already battered people”. Mshelia noted.
He said for sustainable peace and subsequent development of the region such humanitarian gestures were key to ensure reintegration of the affected communities and further forestall all opportunities at recruiting members of such areas into the nefarious act of terrorism.
The press statement also condemned recent media attacks on the Nigerian military by certain sections of the press, describing such as “diversionary and undeserving for a military which has proven its dedication to the nation’s unity and the war against terror in particular”.
“ at this juncture we wish not to only coned the military authority for the concerted efforts at duty but also encourage them to ignore all media propagandists aiming to rubbish your good works. We only view these attempts as as diversionary and undeserving for a military which has proven its dedication to the nation’s unity and the war against terror in particular”. It read in part.
