I think this is something the Nigerian government should be looking at closely abeg o!The Libyan rebels in Niger and refugees pouring in from the Northern Mali conflict.The Tuareg fighters are distributed along Niger and could pose a treat to the Nigerian state if not anything.They supported Ghaddfi and are capturing Northern Mali.
We are talking about assisting Mali (through ECOWAS) repel the rebels from Northern Mali.Before we go further abeg FGN should start serious border surveillance of the North-eastern frontier.Also a strong force be kept on stand-by with a strong punch need be.From amoured divisions to aerial support aircraft.
The Tuareg are getting closer to our sphere and i don't want to wake up one morning and realize a section of the nation had being seized by renegade rebel faction.Not forgetting the Boko haram invasion of Kano and Yobe recently and the police were left in rubbles while the army stood by.This volatile areas must have a rapid force with enough punch to defeat a small country like Niger need be o!It should be made clear to Niger and chad to be alert else in any case Nigeria will disregard borders and invade them o!Lastly we should even populate this nations(Niger,chad,Benin,cameroon and Mali) with the intelligence committee(aka NIA).
FGN needs to finish off this Boko haram issue to dialogue or the alternative fast.Atleast relegate there strength o!.It is critical FGN look beyond BH and look at international insurgency with intent to capture sizable areas of sovereign nations.

The solution to the mali crises is dialogue.the malians and tuaregs should dialogue and allow tuaregs have referendum to decide their future.if they choose independence,further dialogue should take place to map the boundary between mali and azawad/tuareg republic.

wetin concern agberos with overloading. The Taureg and Hausa/fulani are cousins so they can have Northeen Nigeria if the want.
