a senior fellow on sub saharan africa at the tony blair institute for global change . thank you very much indeed for being with us. mr. mccarty. i'm going to start with you. this attack has been claimed by iso and yet local media is saying it's the responsibility of book or her arm for those of us who are not or failed with the complexity of the situation in nigeria. can you just briefly describe to us how these groups are, are playing out and what the intricacies are? sure, so yeah, the, the group that claimed responsibility is called the slam extent, west africa province. that is abbreviated as i swap. and there is no contradiction between that group claim and responsibility and local media in book or her own. because that group is one of the 3 functions of book o'hara. booker her on, is a group that was formed in 2003, in may degree, and went to war with the nigerian government in 2009. and since then, it has killed directly 35000 people,

at least that 5000 people directly. and about 350000 people in directly through the poverty and humanitarian crisis that it created by display in 3500000 people across the lecture region. now this group that started as book on them initially splintered, twice in 2012 is splintered and a group called and sudden must be in a few bladder student formed, which is now affiliated to al qaeda. and in 2016, it splintered again on one group called islamic stead with optical province was recognized by ices. of course, book ahem! itself pledge allegiance to isis in 2015, but the group broke into 2 in 2016 and one of the functions was recognized by iso. and that is the group that is to do called these law, mixed it with africa province. and so there is no contradiction. there are currently 3 different functions of book 1 am operating in the north, east,

north central, andy, north, our northwestern part of nigeria. and there and saddle, i swap, and the one that is traditionally called walk ahead am today. i say here, so for why do you think this attack happened? now the reason why this attack is that happen now, and that's not that we've seen it because i asked that of my lack of effective dealing with this whole insecurity. and so the territories are becoming more embolden and you're doing all sorts of things on get in a way of getting away we t i in march of this year, atria was attacked, and us citizens, well dr. and when do abducted? the terrorist mid the minds of some of the people that wanted to present our prisoners as well. and that didn't happen. and then what we have thing is they're

coming out to our top a prison and 3. the are members that we were actually asking, did they happen cities of attacks where nothing, nothing new thing not to be done by the insurance they. and so the attorneys are becoming more important. let's not forget also that's why the top was waiting on the sent that we got the report of the article we did present. there was also our top on the protocol, the team as security team, but i sent i had been because because they're now in due in december 2020 there was abduction of students and, and conquered up wishes in cost to nothing. and that happened the sender that the president had gone in to add to, to visit his hometown wishes. and because then acted yet the territories did not. i did not stop the act, the atlanta bill went ahead to attack thus bit and ticker was to dead. and walk away with the 4 piece the wearing. dissected at the end of the did the so they were

returned back by the center or is why the command that in ship of the bed, right? if what we call thank you. that was all that in that sense, and that's it. every think. it says that they have normally got full full, our security agency, the food they can't do anything i get to where we did. and sadly, the actually doing things on getting the alinda means the fighting has been going on for years. why has the government's not seemed able to be able to get a grip on this actually on there? so many reasons, and i want to say that i appreciate the rundown given by chance of and t, that is exactly the historical perspective of what the events that took place. but this is a problem that is not conventional. and the insurgency is virtually something new, or it has taken out of men by surprise, even though it took

a long time and it started in 2000. now you remember up to now we have not be able to completely deal with the situation. and the reason is basically because you are fighting morales and unknown enemy that can dissolve into the populace without being pressed. so this is a different. busy problem entirely or was that to say they and i didn't go, mentor is facing and i'll osa, i agree that no much, not so much attention have been really pains to the problem in getting it completely solved in the sense that whenever. 2 days a kind of success recorded or be able to subdue of the instances. then the government seemed to be reluctant. and then when incidence leg in better,

this is events like the project case happens. now already in the last 100 days. what happen in kaduna and a training from can do not 222 i would. yeah. but into some it. oh is that this criminals do these things and get away with it? up to now? nobody has been brought to books. there is a photo web. sorry for interrupting you said there was, there was one. the one thing that i did want to put to you, sir, and there has been a growing suggestion, certainly amongst the media within nigeria. that one of the reasons why boca hot on another on groups are so successful at doing this is that either the, the governments and the, the, the military and the intelligence services are so aware that this problem is so large that they simply can't cope with that and then choose not to do something about it, or there is an allegation that there are people either within the government or within the security services who are in some way complicit with boycott arm and the

other armed groups. what's your reaction to the allegations that that this could be happening simply because either people are turning a blind eye or people actually sympathize with it who are in the security services or the government? i don't think ola gray with neither of the 2. but what i'm trying to, what i believe is happening is that one, the government is not the or the army or the security i just is not used to this kind of problem. that is why so they cannot find easy solution to it is not like be conventional war. this is more and he is not clearly defined as guerrilla war. that is 12, i will agree that this prolonged fight against insurgency may be beneficial to some people. so they really don't want it to end quickly, otherwise i don't understand why. for example,

if an incident happen and then the government cannot say, call some people responsible and say, get discriminate us within social time, there must be timeline in this operations. i've always been saying that called the security chiefs asked them to solve this problem with the specified time. and if there is anything they need, let them let did tell the government and the government should provide those resources, equipment and materials for them. but i wanted, forgive me, i want to bring in belmar mccarty here because the point that, that ali and dummy was making their, i certainly the 1st one was that the, the military has not seen this kind of action before. given the fact that this has been going on for about 10 years, is that actually a reasonable argument that shouldn't have the that the military and the security forces have learned to adapt to what is happening in the country now after such a long time? no,

i'm in the you are completely right. the military would be right to say we did not know how to fight this groups in the 1st 230 years of the crisis, but we are in the 12th or the 13th. yeah. today. and it started in 2009, and therefore, whichever military that is serious should have land lessons and should have strategize and i come up. i developed a, i'm in a plan to tackle the crisis. and so i completely do not agree with the fact that with the idea that the military is to getting used to the crisis which has been going on for 13 years. but one thing i agree with in the senators i do mind is that this is a go to law group and go to law group are always difficult to defeat because the u . r. m is to defeat them while they're in is to create enough stability and get enough media attention. that's how terrorism are walks and the government has been throwing a lot of money and equipment and logistic to this problem. the key problem for me

is lack of coordination and synergy between and among security agencies. in nigeria, nigeria has over 17 security and law enforcement and intelligence agencies. but each of them is operating in silos. none of them are cooperating and watching and coordinating unseen advertising together and because they are possibly indifferent . ah, i mean, because they are not cooperating. and some cases, some of them see others as rivals. these grooves are exploiting. the god that is created in this policy are in this, in the, in this landscape. and unfortunately, the federal government, the office of the president in particular and the national security advisor have failed wolfley in bring in security agencies so that they can work together. the 2nd thing is that state governments are also not united example i state government, cousin s did, government can, will, and other states each state when post use its own policy. and some of these

policies are some times inconsistent, even contradictory in some cases. and the only person benefiting from this inconsistency and contradiction. a lack of cooperation. i'm cd is the terrorists, and therefore, what you need is a complete overhaul. complete review of nigeria, security infrastructure in a way that will bring all the security and enforcement and intelligence agencies together so they can work together, pulled out of those is learn from each other and defeat these group. i assure your so for if i understand it correctly, one of the other points that ali and only was making was the fact that it is possible that this in some way is benefiting some people because the fight has been going on for so long. how concerning is it that there might be some people who are benefiting from this, who are not necessarily them within the groups themselves might be outside that why it's really concerning. and what we have is this

a lot of corruption lights going on and this has been going on with very long time . we've had situations where by saw just how rigid events are the precedent, how come i don't cheat until he does a lot of corruption entitlements i've, i've not been paid the kind of equipment you're getting the father right. kind of, it should be a got it. and there are people who are subtle, like i've been a fetus for me done, and i get it down as the former chief of, i mean that was requested to have housing. what millions of dollars into by he was the procurement officer of that nutrition in georgia, just musicians before this particular administration. and then he became the chief . well, i knew what the military would come up to things that he had nick funds and that's and so that might have just sort of like went away and have been a lot of allegations of corruption. amongst general,

i'll be the kind of properties down owing undergrad that they're not, they're not given doubt all to do this war against terrorism. i will find that question where jenna woken out will have the sort of like mid the minds were the right thing to be done. i've been demoted. so yes, there are people who i've been in the ditch whether it's directly or indirectly from this for around the bad the end of the day the buck stops at the death of the of the precedent uncle my that it, she does know abstract, legit, leadership from that does what? it's not a new was this night investment. what the, what has changed on it? it's the community doing so just again to my direct in 22009. but it has been been all the parts of the what the, the going to do is to learn from what is happening in, in all these. if you can multiply this, what we talked intelligence, i now ask the question to be it does an unknown, is that as a will have information nigeria right now about this as get an inmate?

what is the no, but a call we are doing well, i wait. what, what do you call this? my batch? there is this thing you did the in damage of, i'm of i of the fight against terrorism. it doesn't seem to work by my insurance. if you read the intelligent agency on, they seem to have information when he comes to town and it never happened for me. it was already august in to have information when he comes up with that. and they never had their information when it comes to attorney. as of these are some of the things that i'm really worried about about the 5 that we are not seeming to, we're not even active. when is this what it is that the tories are getting open and they're becoming more and bullied every day. and that's not the way to being alinda me. i want to ask you about something that i, we had a report earlier from our correspondent ahmed address. and in that report of some of that, he was talking to a few people who were on the streets of could a one of whom said that they were very concerned that something bigger was coming.

how worried are you given the attack that we've seen in koji and other attacks? how worried are you that actually this is just the prelude to something even larger . i'm very concerned an owner dresser, very concerned because i border, which is this said the fidel capital is supposed to be one of the safest place. you can leave what i think was a border anywhere. but would this develop? and now almost everybody is scared and it's very, very embarrassing there isn't nasa said and could gender was long enough security around it. it was. busy laid to me it adequately. there was go cctv cameras arming the personnel. there are not grossly in under bent so when did not in, in the insurgence a maybe a large number this is carried out that the

her action and went away with it. so if they are not apprehended up to now and is one of the information adequately, then everybody have reason to be worried and scared. either yourself or tell me about how this decade or so of violence and nigeria has been affecting communities, particularly families and the infrastructure health services and so on. it's been very, very devastating and it's been more so in the hinterlands. more in the rural areas where people are farmers, people have been killed, people have been displaced, most of the promise that we have in and you know what in the areas and most of them right now is another person. and so this really i've been out of the country to have been a normal killings. people have been killed and it was the being killed on everything . we're just waiting. you don't know what the victim is, is going to be. and we flip every day,

not knowing what are we going to be the next victim. and, and it seems, i think nothing it's, it's really been going on. i'll give you an example of that time to help with which as was to be the, to just a, sorry i, i supposed to be the safest faculty rush and it, all people keep coming to out with the prayer region are coming to out who to go with that that the has not been broken and if you look at it now the terrace really wanted that give me large numbers. so they gave me like general, but i didn't lie when i had any report that is new into that. so what has happened after the attack? we don't even see anything that seems to tell us that the government, the security agent is actually going after the terrorists and also trying to get the prisoners back and also, i guess, but the territories. and so we didn't see any good. that's good enough that that you'd be awarded. your land have been deployed and for being

a bit deployed drones will be able to trace them isn't good, you know, was not locked down. you would expect that that particular day would be locked down . there will be dr. doss' searching it or the if you hours they go with the brought out images that the to lose were asking, where are the images are good people, what it was the said to go have a place to file see, and your bench will be able to call so it's really been sort of the bus dating schools when i last had been closed lunch in all the books. i've lost the admins of night. the good life denied you out to day shot. nasty and brutish anita, it's really bad. this is not the way this is not where we're supposed to be, and it's not by blaming anybody. the primary rule of government is that is the protection of life and property, and any government data to protect the nice on properties of the sick of which is most it will be quite a guzman. and that's why we, i right now where it was there, gotten it ga gov, our god knows, our quality on that people to i'm them says i want,

i want to bring it. i want to bring in bullen ago, bacardi just to, to wrap things up for the program. given the fact that there seems as though the infrastructure, particularly for the military, is not available within nigeria. what is the answer that would help the nigerian military insecurity? start to turn the tide against this. there are several things, the nigerian military as well as the federal government should do. i would just mention 3 of them. the 1st thing is for a proper comprehensive, clear gland and policy on how to, i mean, confronted this situation. and what you need to do is a plan that clearly spells out the role of the federal government that of the state government and those of the communities. because everyone at all hands what would have to be in deck. and the most important thing that is better coordination. now that security and law enforcement agencies are working inside of you, i'm never going to succeed in this war. the 2nd question at the 2nd issue is to

flush out corruption in this curity sector. there are lots of money, a lot of money that has not been accounted for the national security adviser, current national security, advisor himself has said publicly that billions of net uh voted for security. have gone missing and there is no accountability. this attack has happened. and i can, i can assure you, no one will be held responsible. and this is just one of the several prison breaks we have seen in nigeria in the last 2 years. in the law of a coffee, i am terribly sorry where i'm going to have to interrupt you there because i'm afraid time is against us. but i do appreciate you joining us and the program. i want to say thank you to all our guest sally and dummy, i assure you so for unbelievable coffee and thank you to your to for watching. you can see the program again. any time by visiting our website. i'll just 0 dot com and for further discussion, go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. you can also join the conversation on twitter handle
