Russo/Nigerian Relations in the Context of Counterinsurgency Operation in Nigeria

Sunday Omotuyi

Abstract: The effectiveness of Nigeria’s counterinsurgency operation has once again underscored the strategic importance of Russo-Nigerian relations. Having played a pivotal role in safeguarding the territorial unity of the country during its grueling civil war 1967–1970, Moscow’s importance in Nigeria’s national security in the post-Cold War period cannot be overemphasized. This article explores the dynamics of Russo-Nigerian relations in the context of current insurgency in the country. Drawing on extant literature an… Show more

As Nigeria reels under the security challenges causes by the insurgency of the Boko Haram Islamic sect, and Islamic State West African Province, ISWAP in the North East region, as well as banditry, armed robbery, kidnappings for ransom, ritual killings, separatist movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and the menace of the Fulani Herdsmen, the unprecedented killer COVID-19 pandemic and its concomitant global crisis changed the pattern of the security challenges and greatly undermined human security in the country. It is within this premise that this study made concerted effort to review the changing pattern of the Nigeria’s public safety and national security challenges in the COVID-19 pandemic era which in turn undermined human security. To achieve its objectives, this study adopted the historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. Thus, secondary sources of data were reliably used in gathering of materials for the study and for gleaning extant literatures in the study area. Because of its contribution to the development of a civil society which is largely in practice in recent times, the Natural State theory was adopted as its theoretical framework. The study finds out among others that in the face of the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, its accompaniment global crisis and the existing national security challenges in Nigeria are on the increase rather than in the decrease and all of which in turn threatened human security that was already in comatose state. Study concludes that the nexus between the security challenges in the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 pandemic eras is that both have tolled on human and material capital in Nigeria. The study therefore offers useful policy options to these national issues.

The Boko Haram insurgency is a security threat to the countries of the Lake Chad Basin Region made up of Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger. This article portrays an analysis on the origin and regionalization of Boko Haram. More importantly, this study also attempts to highlight the pivotal role that cooperation with friendly external partners (such as Russia, and China) can play in the fight against terrorist groups such as Boko Haram in Africa. Our analysis argues that, Boko Haram's terrorism in the Lake Chad region is driven by the combination of overlapping and self-complementing factors like political and economic interests, rather than religion, with implications for security and counterterrorism efforts. In the the end, recommendations were suggested on how to overcome this terrorist organisation. This article utilizes a combination of social conflict theory and terrorism studies to analyze the origins and impact of Boko Haram. Social conflict theory helps to explain how economic inequality and political instability can contribute to the rise of extremist groups like Boko Haram. Terrorism studies provide insight into the tactics and strategies used by Boko Haram to achieve their goals. This article employs a multidisciplinary approach, drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources, including academic literature, government reports, and media sources. The methodology includes qualitative analysis of historical and contemporary data to provide insights into the origins and evolution of the Boko Haram activities, as well as the impact it has had on the affected communities and the countries of the Lake Chad Basin Region. This analysis gave the opportunity to suggest recommendations on how to overcome the Boko Haram and terrorism in Africa in general.
