Montanasnr: Court said release their leader, release na...when Egypt protested against Morsii or whatever his name is, where they tagged Terrorist by Egypt, or other nations protest, I have seen South Africans protest, the police dare not touch them, only tear gas can be used, this is not a nation, my brother, do not support evil, Nigeria have no future, the only way is to divide, the marriage is not working, south and north are two different people. Nigeria can not succeed with two different mentalities, if it was southerner like Obj , that man for don commot since, buhari and fellow northerners are backward. Imagine us having an illiterate president in 2019.in a computerized age |

Amnesty International should just try and be serious this time. They got this one wrong. If the Shi'ite protesters were unarmed, invariably Amnesty International is suggesting that the police officers that died were either killed by other police officers or they committed suicide. |

The name of the group is a deceptive one. It should not and should never be called Islamic Movement. Islam has nothing to do with the way shi'ites are doing their things. They are only a group looking for power. They consider each and every government of Nigeria as illegitimate despite the fact that they are using infrastructure built by the government. They usually block roads they don't build and prevent people from using it. They also fail to register their interest in joining politics to be elected into power, yet they form their own mini government at Zaria, considering only zakzaky as a legitimate person in their eyes. Which government will fold its hands and allow such group that always considers overthrowing every government in power to continue such endless efforts? In fact it baffles me as to what these people want. If it's Iran that sponsors them, why on earth won't they pack up bag and baggage to go there and reside? Must they come and torment Nigerians? |

I blame the police. I live in Abuja and see the Shiites procession to protest. The approach is to quell them by force and use aggression suppress them. The NPF needs to be trained and equipped for protest. Where in a democracy is live bullets used against men and women and children protesters? |

Re: Amnesty International Blames Police For Bloody Shi'ites Protest by Nobody: 9:39am On Jul 23, 2019 |
niaralandtopuser: some of you are just so confused, think before you talk, if you've ever been to any protest you should know protest has two sides the police would definite be on one end. so how can a stray bullet from the police hit a fellow police @ the same end. nigerians we are just full of reactions only few think n ask ??. my questions are ; why are the shiites suddenly desperate to have there leader out. From the logistics & mode by which the shiites convey for protest who is mobilizing them. If buhari refuses to releases the islamic movement leader how exactly is he planning to islamize nigeria. I strongly feel releasing the shiite leader @ these period would signify power to the shiites members .. with the lapses in our security can we take chances of releasing el zazaky |

Below is a research paper from NIPSS Kuru, Jos on the herdsmen/farmers *"conflict?"*. It's quite instructive and does recommend a way out of this national security threat. In deed, this is why institutions like NIPSS were established in the first place. Please read through The National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies, NIPSS Kuru. Jos. Guest Speaker. PROGNOSIS OF FACTORS SUSTAINING THE SEDENTARY FARMERS AND NOMADIC HERDERS' CONFLICT, TOWARDS A STRATEGIC RESPONSE Protocols Introduction Historical Perspective/Herding Sedentary Farmers Nomadic Farmers Nomadism Conflict as a Wrong Diagnosis Doctrine of Tort: Trespass and Aggression Legal Views Sustaining Factor/Problem Statement Aggravating Factor: The Fuel/Grazing Cycle Contributory Factor: The Profit/Greed Factor Prognosis • Positive Prognosis • Negative Prognosis Conclusion Introduction The fast pace of change & National Developments in Countries around the World necessitated the establishment of National Institute of Policy and Strategic Studies in 1979 for Qualitative input into the National Policy. It serves as a high level centre for Reflection, Research and Dialogue. The National institute has once again demonstrated leadership by choosing the prevailing threat to national security between the farmers and the herdsmen for the first brainstorming session in 2018. The issue of the herdsmen has been sporadic, widespread and recurrent in Nigeria. It has also become intractable, from Abia to Adamawa, Benue to Enugu, Niger to Plateau, Taraba to Ondo and Ekiti to Zamfara. It has been tales of woes, weeping and gnashing of teeth. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE A pastoral Fulani family is the traditional herding unit. This unit divides task by gender, allowing the men to manage the herds by finding grazing sites, they build tents and camps and provide security through knives, bows and guns. The women are laid back to milking of cows, weaving and marketing of mats and sourcing for food. Cattle is the dominant composition of the Fulani herd in Nigeria and are largely females of about 60-70% and males of about 30-40%. The Males are largely reduced through selling for consumption purposes. These livestock provide a bulk of the beef consumption in Nigeria and hence a veritable source of animal protein for the nourishment of the population. SEDENTARY FARMERS These are settled farmers who practice agriculture in one place in which fields are not rotated. They farm the same place continuously in contrast to shifting cultivation. Sedentary farming started in Angermanland, northern Sweden, during the Iron Age and medieval period based on pollen analytical investigations (Jan-Erik Wallin, Umea University, Sweden) and it is still commonly practiced in Nigeria and several parts of Africa. One thing common among the sedentary farmers is poverty. It is the rate limiting factor to ownership of several plots of land for shifting cultivation and thus increases their hunger, anger, desperation and vulnerability to been killed by the herdsmen. NOMADIC HERDERS These are livestock farmers that move frequently from place to place without a fixed pattern and are principally of the Fulani extraction in Nigeria. There are two types of nomadic farmers 1. Pure nomadic- which engages in random movement of cattle. 2. Semi Nomadic – which engages in planned transhumance movements between one grazing ground to the other in a seasonal cycle, from highlands to lowlands and vice- versa to their camps or homes? NOMADISM Occur because of the following factors; search for abundant grass and water, to avoid tax, harmful insects and hostile weather, for social relocation, to increase sales and to maximal profit etc. CONFLICT AS A WRONG DIAGNOSIS Is there any conflict? There is actually no conflict between the farmers and the herdsmen. There is also no clash. For conflict to exist, the following must be satisfied. • Recognized opposing interests between part |

Technology has advanced to where crowd dispatch ammunitions are been used instead of live bullets on unarmed protesters besides all these casualties could have been avoided if the police had escorted them peacefully while the protest last. |
