After watching the clip titled, “stars on their shoulders: blood on their hands”, by Amnesty International which indicted many top ranking army officers, accusing the Nigerian army of committing “war crimes”, I came to understand that the organization has such an unadulterated
love and respect for human lives and are poised
to fight and condemn any act of impunity against
such.
But why on earth was the organization silent when the boko boys were killing our people and the soldiers in thousands only to surface now that we are winning the war to douce the spirit of our soldiers with threat of prosecution. Who will account for the lives taken by the insurgents? I admit that our military may have crossed the line in a bid to quench the heartless fighters and I stand to condemn such but loss of few innocent lives is always an incidental eventuality when a deadly and faceless group like this is engaged. Report had it that US army killed some innocent civilians before they could penetrate Bin-Laden’s hideout and even killed the wife in the process, but no one protested, rather, they were decorated with national honours and accolades. How many US army officers, or US presidents were probed for killing or assisting the killing of poor people in the Middle East? Oh sorry, the ‘sacred cows’ killed the less humans.
The A.I report says that boko suspects were being kept in overcrowded prison, poorly fed and exposed to diseases with no medical assistance, while the “identified” ones were apprehended and summarily executed without trial. Though, illegality has no support of mine, but the group forgot so easily that this is a war, there was never a laid down plan for the “welfare” of hundreds of people that are being arrested daily, and even our soldiers are suffering from same poor & life threatening condition.
Let them probe whomever that is probe worthy but if A.I were really concerned as portrayed, it should have prevailed over USA to sell arms or allow the sale of arms to Nigerian military so as to protect the sacred lives of the citizens. It should have sacrificed a sentence or phrase in its report to congratulate our gallant soldiers who left their loved ones, wives and children, to protect other’s lives at the expense of theirs. Men who sacrificed their comfort to stay in the bush for months with little to eat while going on many suicidal missions to bring us the relative peace we recently enjoy(ed). May God protect us all.

The fact remains that the present administration are planning to play politics with some people to help render then powerless.

Amnesty international is/are high on contaminated weed, BH has a right to decimate Nigerians but Nigerian military had no right to retaliate. . Issokay

You don't wage war against a people and expect fairness and justice... war is not a clean transaction!!!!

A.I are only part of those power house that wants Nigeria to divide by causing chaos between d people, d gorvernment and d military. "but they wnt succeed. "in d region of war, d innocents are bound to be affected.
