It's not through that there is no example of defeat of terrorism through military force.
How did Sri Lanka defeat the Tamil Tigers?
How come there has been no further Islamist terrorist attack in the US after 9/11?
What's the source of the claim that more Christians are killed in the US than Nigeria?
Does the US have any subsisting domestic terrorism?
The Nigerian situation is a situation of life and death for entire communities. There is fear and wariness everywhere.
The issue should not be ideologized.
As for the terrosits in the North tormenting their fellow Northerners and entering into the South, largely extremist and criminal Fulani as attested by fellow Fulani who defend them or acknowledge and critique them, they have no vision except theft, extortion and land control.
People are being massacred by these terrorits.
This is not the time for ideologies calling Al Shabab "African youth".
Most Southern Nigerians want the US to do their utmost to help in this crisis since the Nigerian state has been behaving as heavily compromised.
The cry for help is louder from the citizens than the politicians.
Let's try to understand the voices of the Nigerian street and the realities on the ground rather than pontificate from ideological heights.
Thanks

--Imperialism by invitation is a rare sign of neocolonialism under phantom bourgeois rulers. Maybe the US will invite Africa to come and strike their domestic terrorists too. There is probably more killing of Christians in the US than in Nigeria and there is definitely more kidnapping in the US than in the whole of Africa.

There is no example of the defeat of terrorism through militarism. All the armed conflicts in the world tend to be settled through dialogue around a conference table - Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, Ghaza, Lebanon, South Africa, Sudan, Congo, Sierra Leon, Liberia, Columbia, Northern Ireland, Ukraine, you name it. On the contrary, everywhere the US intervenes militarily, tends to be ruined.The solution to silencing the guns, according to AU, is to recognize the militsants as legitimate political parties. Let them run for office nonviolently and if they win a local government area or a state, let them govern without corruption to show that they can govern better than the corrupt politicians; let there be gender parity is all offices; and let there be ranches where the cattle will be kept and food and water brought to them insterad of fighting feudal wars over land at a timer that the economy is evolving into a capitalist one thaty depends on knowledge and not land ownership.Let the African states that committed genocide against theri own citizens apologize to the victimized and offer reparative justice and let Africans erase the colonial boundaries for a united Africa. Never again should any republic of ants try to swallow the African elephant without belly aches. Donald Trump pardoned those who attackerd law makers, he has no business bombing African youth - al Shabab - even if some African crooks invited him to do so in order to protect their looting of the economies.On Friday, 26 December 2025 at 16:11:41 GMT-5, Oluwatoyin Adepoju <ovadepojuifa@gmail.com> wrote:The Nigerian govt described itself as working with the Americans--On Fri, Dec 26, 2025, 9:07 PM 'Patrick Effiboley' via USA Africa Dialogue Series <usaafricadialogue@googlegroups.com> wrote:--In a principle basis, can state/country enter a territory of another state in the name of fighting terrorism without the agreement of the latter?Dr Emery Patrick EFFIBOLEYMaître de conférences, Histoire de l'ArtChef, Département d'Histoire et d'Archéologie, Université d'Abomey-Calavi, BéninAndrew W.

The yardstick that I use to judge a man [or a woman] is his [ or her] deeds, his [her] behavior, and his [or her] intentions. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth. And, every time you let someone stand on your head and you don't do anything about it, you are not acting with intelligence and should not be on this earth—you won't be on this earth very long either." -- Malcolm X.
