Scholars and Activists Hold Special Dialogue on US Christmas Airstrikes in Nigeria, Debate Foreign Military Intervention, Sovereignty, and Security Implications
Civil society groups and scholars convened a special dialogue to examine the implications of recent US airstrikes in Nigeria, raising concerns about foreign military involvement, national sovereignty, and long-term security. The event, titled “US Airstrikes in Nigeria: The Politics of Protection and the Future of Security in Nigeria,” was organized by the Conflict Research Network (CORN) West Africa and The Africa TADLab Disruptions.
Professor Mojubaolu O. Okome, chairing the session, argued that US intervention aligns with broader American strategic interests, including control of resources, rather than Nigeria’s security needs. She warned of potential collateral damage and the long-term entrenchment of foreign military presence. Other participants debated the moral and strategic implications, with some cautioning that military action could instill fear among civilians, while others highlighted the challenges of opposing foreign intervention in protecting Nigerian citizens.
The dialogue aimed to foster critical reflection on foreign military engagement in Nigeria and its potential consequences as the country grapples with widespread insecurity.
