Boko Haram Ceasefire Deal Splits Sect

-

There are indications that the dreaded Boko Haram sect
may have split into two following the recent ceasefire deal
announced by the Federal Government. According to Punch reports, one faction wants peace. while the other doesn’t and the Federal Government might have entered into the ceasefire agreement with the faction that
wants peace. The Nigerian government on Friday, October 17, 2014, had
claimed to have reached a deal with Boko Haram sect to
ceasefire and also release over 200 abducted Chibok
schoolgirls in its captivity. A reliable source in government disclosed that it was the leaders of the pro-peace faction that took part in the
negotiations with the government last week.

Report has it that the Federal Government and Boko Haram
representatives are expected to fine tune the details of the
ceasefire at another meeting in Ndjamena, Chad on
Tuesday. Other sources in government said that the government was
still expressing cautious optimism in its dealings with the
sect and have decided to keep a dignified silence to see
how the matter plays out. “The government does not want to jump into the fray. It is true that discussions are ongoing but the government is
watching the situation critically. The thinking is that once
the process scales through, the government will make a
public pronouncement. “Hopefully, once the Tuesday meeting is successful, the government will talk. For now, we are watching events ,” the source said.

A few hours after the ceasefire announcement on Friday,
Boko Haram terrorists allegedly carried out a series of
deadly attacks on a number of Nigerian villages. The source is of the opinion that those who launched the attack could have been form the anti-peace faction who are not interested in ending the violence. “The Boko Haram faction that carried out the attack is the one that wants the insurgency to continue. It is made up of hardcore elements who believe their goal of imposing Sharia on the whole country has not been achieved and for them, the violence must continue until they win the war or perish in their quest,” he said.

N.B: BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK?  SHOULD THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATE WITH THE BOKO HARAM TERRORIST GROUP OR NOT?

This piece is written in honour of and dedicated to the memory of hardworking, innocent and defenceless Nigerian citizens who lost their lives in the spate of senseless religious killings in the country. It is my prayer and hope that their deaths will never be in vain and that one day, we will all come back to our senses, work together for peace and realize that after everything, we end up buried in the same soil of the same earth and consumed by the same worms that know no religion.  It was 33 years ago, the 18th of December, 1980 to be precise. A Fulani teacher named Shehu Shagari was the first civilian executive Nigerian President but the nation he was leading was in flames, set alight by an energetic man who spoke high-pitched Fulani. The security forces were helpless and even the Commander-in-Chief of the Nigerian Armed Forces seemed confused blaming external forces that he said were ‘jealous of Nigeria’s growing international influence’. The violence, the h...
