My reaction to the kidnapping of teachers & school kids in Oyo State, Nigeria

My reaction to the current wave of xenophobia in South Africa

Military intervention has high political risks

Trump’s framing of insecurity in Nigeria may be partially wrong but it has got the Nigerian government to pay attention

Boko Haram was heading toward violence but the government’s militarised response hastened its advance to jihad

The United States’ presence in Nigeria is not a game changer

Jihadist groups compete and cooperate with one another when necessary

Why are mass atrocities against civilians underreported in Africa

The Truth & Reconciliation Act of South Africa remains a model for Africa but left a lot of bitterness in South Africa

There is a diminished attention to conflicts & humanitarian crises in Africa
