Diverse Reactions To Terrorists: Russia, France and Nigeria.

by Eze Eluchie

One more reason why we are where we are and the rest of the world keeps on forging ahead is encapsulated in the reaction of our current President to terror when compared with how others react to terror:

"To forgive the terrorist is up to God, but to send them to Him, is my duty."

"There's no statute of limitations for this, we need to know all of their names. We're going to look for them everywhere wherever they are hiding. We will find them in any place on Earth and punish them."

-        Vladimir Putin, Russian President responding to the downing of Russian Plane by ISIS terrorists.

'We will lead the fight and we will be ruthless, and we had to be here among the people who were subject to these atrocities because when the terrorists are capable of doing such acts, they must know that they will face a France very determined - a France united'
'France will destroy ISIS'
- Francois Hollande, French President responding to ISIS attacks on Paris.

"An attack against Boko Haram is an attack against the North"

 "If the Boko Haram leadership eventually agrees to turn over the Chibok girls to us – the complete number – then we may decide to give them amnesty!"

-        Muhammadu Buhari, Nigeria’s President responding to efforts by Nigerian army to contain Boko Haram

Could the Heads of Governments above be talking about the same problem? Extremist Islamist terrorists who have killed thousands and continue to threaten to kill many more thousands? For global efforts to diminish and eventually eradicate extremist Islamist terror, wheresoever it may exist, to succeed, there must be unanimity of purpose and efforts and zero-tolerance for entities or administration which hobnob with these despicable creatures or in anyway offer them respite, refuge or relevance.

The fact that the Muhammadu Buhari administration is continuing with its devious path to ‘negotiate’, offer pardon and or amnesty to a group that continues to bomb, behead, inclusive of lethal suicide-bomber attacks within the past three days in Yola and Kano (cities in Northern Nigeria, which led to the death of over 40 persons and injury to several hundreds, and in so many other ways terrorize not just Nigerians but also the international community, by means of their avowed affiliation to ISIS, is indeed most troubling.

Muhammadu Buhari’s government has ordered the release of countless Boko Haram terrorists and gone into negotiations with some of them with a view to according them safe passage from justice - at the same time, the Buhari regime is marshalling Nigerian soldiers to ‘crush’ peaceful protesters in Nigeria’s South-East and South-South regions (a zone Muhammadu Buhari has derisively referred to as those who gave him 5% votes and whom he wil treat unequally with the rest of Nigeria), calling for the restructuring and renegotiation in of the Nigerian contraption.

Muhammadu Buhari, the world is watching with increased and steadily increasing interests....
