responsibility for a similar attack hundreds of school boys were kidnapped this time in the northwest . the attack in caught sooner state was initially blamed on banded groups that have carried out kidnaps for run some in the area hundreds of students are missing while others escaped boko haram says it had targeted the school to fulfill a long held aim or stopping western education the government has denied negotiating with the kidnappers and some students have been rescued the parents of the missing children have pleaded for their turn. your back and now i think in the end i said thank you we have shed so many tears our hearts are grieving and we don't know what to do we're tired of talking we're appealing to the government to help us and to help secure our children from the hands of those people in iran has got to honestly i don't trust the claim of book of horror it is

a lie because she is used to making such life just to confuse people i don't trust that in the situation is not what you said it is. about why you know what and to begin to there's no way i can measure my anger now this is the 4th day we've come here in the morning to the school we can't sleep we can't eat because of our missing children when we see security men moving back and forth it gives us hope of finding our children. the attack marks a shift in berko her arms area of activity and raises questions over the government's ability to deal with the armed group president who has repeatedly claimed the rebels have been defeated has now under increased pressure to address the security crisis but history's report from a bullshitter. the return of 15 more students was greeted with leave and cuts and however there are conflicting reports as to how they made it to safety some reports suggest they were rescued by the military others are insisting that the children

made it to safety after escaping their abductors meanwhile the kids in the state government insisted that it's not negotiating with kidnappers after the abductors of the schoolchildren walk in tight a few days ago now there are concerns in northwest nigeria that the insurgency is now spreading and past now far away from its traditional pretty base in northeastern nigeria to the northwest to the existing problems in the northwest of the country where ben 3 and kidnappings have such several communities dozens of communities in fact in zamfara county and state have been affected over the past years. for inside story. joining us our guests in. his age of political and security

analysts politica in london. is a nigerian affairs. series called black as in revolution and in it in a delhi he is a research fellow at the university of denver center for african studies welcome to you a big way is this attack that book is trying to further expand in different parts of nigeria particularly the northwestern part of the country. same year yes i would see the recent attack in concord or. the local government in us nothing so just stronger the book or i was demonstrating this ability to carry out attacks. in the area that are not traditionally it's tough because you know nothing to do not close off and then the

issue of me shooting and just security agents are 5th in there has come from banditry we. are all connected the groups i would sit. numbering over of a 100 because who are on. criminal. activity is not organized in the we but crimes organize business that ideology or trying to impose any policy on this to is what we look around shifting towards if not worse then do is sure that the how much you think you knew in new emboldened stunts india instance urgency company it insisted mind you last friday is our park hopping where the president was in the states that's that's the most true they said to live off confident we've not seen from somewhere you knew the president moved such a large security center out several. hundreds of security men from the army to

civil defense to police and while he was in the state in his hometown ok. attack on that demonstrated lot of confidence from if that's the case of the let me go to any historically speaking book a holiday has been operating in the northeastern part of the country particularly in borno year and now they're moving to katsina why i could see in him particular. well i think attack is well 1st thing in terms of what was just said i think. and attacking at ciena which is the president's home state is very strong and clear message the nigerian government about ok around strength that president i think also seeing a return to an attack on schools there and then attack on education and thinking about sort of previous attacks which we saw where the kidnapping of i'm schoolgirls and shot i think what we're seeing again is an attempt to draw the government into

a long and protracted. long and protracted struggle in particular also. drawing the government back into negotiations so president haris out at the last election that he would refuse to negotiate back or out as there are a force who don't want peace and i think an attack of such confidence which shows strength but also an attack which draws on the remote a very strong and emotive group with a nigerian society is likely to bring the government back to the indication table in. i mean this is similar to the 2014 attack you send fighters or motorbikes they kidnap the children they meet at a tel assembly point and they disappear in the desert when you do this i'm sorry but there's no other explanation but that security forces have completely failed to

see their way actually. i couldn't remove. i think i think or. these. terms which of our are little you prefer to use in friends who have been tested that. testing them i took against the nigerian security forces and. come out of a cloud tops in each in each and each occasion and that's proven to. each and each each and every one of those very separate occasions is just a very just increase that really just acted as as it improved incentives basically for them to continue on this on this path and there's nothing sure that they will stop anytime see unless there's a radical who lost her she church infrastructure in nigeria but then.

and this is something that i'm a big reason only to turn a few minutes ago it's quite interesting and a rather telling the fact toxic place while the president was on holiday a few a few hours away from time current in his her town of daraa who for those who are not familiar with the geography of our northwestern nigeria. town car is in could see as is daraa where the president tom hills from and where he's currently holiday has made in and through the heart of adoption and or of an abduction of his skill to clarice in that particular part of the country sees or a lot of men. just have the entire situation is perceived or rather how the person of the president. but the language or his or his

she's handling of the security situation of the last 5 or so years isn't ok is this being interpreted a big way i mean book a house on has been widely seen as the biggest threat to the nigerian state for many years and you would assume that security forces along with the police and the army should have enough intelligence to intercept communications and look into the development and the evolution of the group have enough equipment to be able to move around and tackle the problem they seem to be completely disconnected with the new reality which seems. to be now shifting in your own country or she's basically. flexing its military muscles more than other yeah i'm. really as good manager are on to talk about 30 or in about that it position in the group doctors in index that were just released in the our tax have been incessant

in this business of 17 this we saw on our part that our merry look will go local government being a boost if we are for that to rewrite some of the acute and then last friday as i can carry and then we will on sunday walk around are tucked in 2 more in defeat defier rejoined in the jury probably the arbiter or pretty we didn't lend you out on our own and your other brother it's shocking even after years of investment into the contract is so densely our counterterrorism operation well i think you know just security it particularly the military is again is fighting against it and this sort of a sudden we have to understand that it is sort of is soldiers here or it's symmetric warfare as this really east is particularly challenging to win manager lacks the kind of experience to arc to fight it comes out that terrorism. and the sword and. any enemy because we were doing this for about 10 years and this that it

doesn't and then i really picked up you know there about 2011 i'm sure but the missing experience is the problem and also the military capacities is also missing one of the walk across them talking about where point where point 3 and tell them to learn about it i can pittance if i may interrupt you that and go to any this has been going on for 10 years nigeria is not mali or book enough fossil nigeria is one of the richest nations in the african continent its defense spending is now. he has all the means has all the know how it has all the connections with the international community to be able to cope with this problem president and the leaders before him have always been saying book has been technically defeated it doesn't seem to be the case what's wrong here well i think firstly going back to

the point about a book or her flexing its muscles in the president's home state but hari made a centerpiece of his fast election campaign and for a long time afterwards people accused him of playing the blame game in terms of blaming. jonathan regime and for not being able to tackle the. issue i think there and number of things at play is so fast it is as the previous speaker sat at the symmetric warfare said imagines have been taken for example where in the northern region and number of states commit and communications were cut off in order to attempt to intercept or prevent iran from being able to communicate but that poses the government in a double bind in terms of also losing support of the local populations where they're affected by measures like that there is a little support for some of the imaginary measures that the government have put in place i think the other side to the story as well and this is come up in recent months in terms of other protest movements within the country around the end

sasnett you know what we've seen is that the issue of corruption which is endemic to security forces not just the police force but also the military in nigeria has meant that the military despite investment from the state nigeria's military forces accounts or a 3rd of nigeria's security spending but also from foreign foreign governments the government has been unable to a tackle this issue precisely because of skimming off the top and the military for me is woefully underprepared in terms of dealing with some of the. challenge is any daily now since goodluck jonathan and all the way to words. we've been hearing the same narrative the government is allocating enough financial support of the army and security forces but each time this saying we are under equipped to deal and tackle

a group like boko haram well the only way to interpret this is basically corruption one is not going away supposed to be going absolutely and. i think i think and he's already sort of. point to the students who. mean the ministries are essential. corruption that's seized into almost every fiber. the way the way the way governance is. as is done in nigeria and of course some of the military's not even exam truthiness sensually. if we if we compare if we could we compare the narrative has been put by the government to garden military spending where if there is been being pushed by bye bye bye bye bye soldiers on the ground in northeastern nigeria despite

attempts to stifle to throw stifle their voices i think i mean i think the differences is usually quite quite clear. or starcraft because. i remember if you months or so ago or. a military official who was demoted essentially fool and i think he was also suspended for being recorded to say that the military's not able been able to she foot took the opportunity for a prosecutor of the of the fight against her around because. of the naturally under-funded essentially and so i think that tells us everything we need to know but then again us but it's been an issue sure but then i get a military option it's said they way out of this particular problem of the way.

yes it is michel yes agri with the 2 of us because of the issue of corruption is did nobody that was in the but there's something about military capacity the even if we correct for the issue of corruption how what and where points if where problems competence of course capability the manager has not been able to meet the competence demand to defeat to defeat terrorism started if you look at this what they did being employed now with the accord is a park i'm struck in the busy did it talk to kowtow to the trade of where it we drew it forces from hinterland communities in born's that are concentrated only support comes their battle even goes into the communities vulnerable to attack and a good example is what happened is our merry. christmas we're going to a community on those sort of people who were the duct strategy whereby you pull

troops back into into our cars and treat them loose be found is vulnerable and reduce this reaction time it can carry the attack on qaeda took place last friday the point about just before 10 o'clock did you want to come to these saturday before. and there are security forces able to move into into the scene of the crime and that is a huge time if they were after going to kill more people it would have drowned out all of the names so yes we can talk about corruption that's the major pirkei i see or hear the problem there is that there are bigger issues of competence and cup our capacity and also structure just cleared up is not just working in the favor ok of the manager on an ng should we consider me a purely ideological organization or should we more look into what many other people have not been focusing on which is the ethnic aspect of this

particular organization yeah and i think far. i think with becca her hair is sort of ideological and i think that's part of the reason why i disagree that a purely military solution is going to solve the issue in particular i think even if you were able to militarily defeat bronchos as we've seen in the developments in able tara has very easy or spent organizations to our relatively quickly so far is the ideology and i think that feeds into or is fed into our time by the treatment of political issues within one theory of through the lens of ethnicity and i think at times members of the government have been guilty of or complicit in the reconfiguring of political tensions or economic tensions within the lens of this it's one thing to remember about her arm is this is an organization that's met with i sell on the basis of refusing not to refusing to not

target muslim civilians so our aspect of it can't be forgotten i think also that at the end of the day when time when challenging and tackling a force like this you have to think the ideological level you have to think at the military level but also you have to think about what the consequences have been in terms of the masses placement of people huge areas which are incredibly poor and extent to which at least people of honorable willing into these ideologies any. this was founded book a hollow in 2002 by mohammed use of who wanted to restore a sense of islamic piety to the nigerian society 2009 who was killed 2009. sickout takes over the group later would pledge allegiance to these lawmakers state further expand the canaries who are the backbone of the movement much well entrenched in borno yobe and. it seems

that we have a point where the nigerian government and the international community have to rethink the way to move forward to deal with boko haram. absolutely and. i think of chris which will turn and he's been up to the point he's been trying to make which is such as. the summary. that started this this is a this is an organization that started as an ideological struggle sectarian movement essentially despite whatever its mushroomed into nar which which might be quite difficult to sort of arm to to define and through the toes of we cannot we cannot group to overcome this with just. by just simply relying on military or militaristic tactics essentially it's

some fundamentally the. idea of the idea as ideology that dries book around that has to be defeated if this if there's any her who peace for long term peace to be restored she choose to particularly move east and moving on my journey of all that where you've been talking about the military option and the need to tackle this issue from the rose the french are leading an operation in sub-saharan africa particularly in mali and you see the results there the religious groups are still operating the further expanding to places like work in a fossil they lake charles base in countries have come together to defeat boko haram it backfired not simply in different parts of the border particular between nigeria and come come around. we have a new groups moving that expanding affiliated with or with the islamic

state if the nigerian were to address the root causes particularly mismanagement it doesn't matter of public funds and corruption could that be the way out of this particular crisis which is widely seen as an existential threat to your country yes if can because if you look if you look at the in this is when socially this is in the indian not you you get a sense us a wire it is a breeding ground for terrorism for instance meant you have environmental 1000000 people live in abject poverty it's the sense of that 90000000 reset in the not the only level 1000000 children out of school in india majority of which are india not include many of the other colleagues here would know about it on my jury and on all of that if when you have those kind of feel goes. people concentrated in a particular region somewhat early and forgotten by the states it is very

easy for groups that were quite armed that i deliberately driven capitalizing on these governments to recruit and i and i must and i must in support from the people until either there is a look of little tense or court. not on main gear so a lot of people see them also us defend us. because you have many communities that only have a good that are not engaged by the federal government and we look at local government doesn't it thaws in our parliament they have not gone back to their communities thank you here is even the governor of borno state i've not been to his home town for years so how do you how do you put your feet you are supported on represented by the state and this is another ticket with a force that the governor is in it could not be fun thank you both the us is sure how more disconnect there is when it comes to government government officials and
