Removal Of Bazoum Is Making Terrorism Worse In Niger Republic

 Deputy Cabinet Director of former President Buzoum raises alarm over spate of attacks, says insecurity has worsened

Insecurity and Terrorism, first consequences of the ongoing hostage taking in Niger, preventing the President of the Republic SEM Bazoum Mohamed from performing his duties fully.

In just two weeks of interruption by the Head of State, Supreme Chief of Armies, we have recorded six (06) complex attacks on military positions, twice as many as those recorded in two years of SEM Bazoum Mohamed's power.

Indeed, what General Tiani doesn't know is that the fight against terrorism is not a classic military operation where you know where the enemy is hiding, just take the right weapons and have a little courage and boom! It's done, the job is done, we are going home!

Terrorism is a complex phenomenon that requires a careful specific approach and simultaneous consideration of several technical and political aspects.

That is why as soon as Bazoum’s arrival as head of state, he took action on the situation and immediately set up a multidisciplinary team to which he trained to think, analyze and propose an integrated national strategy against terrorism and terrorism, stabilization of conflict zones

This team did a laborious job and proposed to the Head of State a four-axis strategy, the first is the military axis, the second is the political dialogue and security diplomacy axis, the third is the security axis and the fourth is socio-economic development.

The primary objective of the military axis is to develop a territorial link to block terrorists' penetration into Nigerian territory. The grids will be maintained by light units and interoperative close commands for the efficiency of action and especially mutual protection.

The second axis has a double objective: i) to reach out communities to understand the key players of extracting Nigerians engaged in conflict by giving them opportunities to return to normal civil life and ii) security diplomacy aims to assess and choose strategic partners to to benefit from their technical skills for third dimension mastery.

Well since taking hostage, General Tiani fearing a military intervention to release him has broken all the link fighting terrorism and demobilised all the units he brought to Niamey for his own protection as he also sent forty (40) vehicles of the special forces to keep his parents in his native village in Toukounous.

Also, General Tiani, who has not left Niamey for twelve (12) years, has ended the strategic partnership that allows us to master the air dimension, completely ignoring the enormous services we get.

As a result, the linking has become porous and the air means are missing, the terrorists have to only advance to the few remaining military positions to slaughter them!

Mr. Daouda Takoubayoke

Deputy Cabinet Director of the President of the Republic S.E.M Mohamed Bazoum
