ECOWAS CDS MEETING: GEN OLONISAKIN TAKES OVER LEADERSHIP, SEEKS COLLECTIVE ACTION AGAINST TERRORISM, OTHER CRIMES

Nigeria’s Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin has called for intensification of intelligence gathering, joint and combined operations in order to combat the security threats currently plaguing the ECOWAS region.

General Olonisakin who assumed leadership of the ECOWAS Committee of Chiefs of Defence Staff on Wednesday at the ongoing 39th ordinary meeting in Abuja said collective efforts by each member state as well as collaboration with other stakeholders and partners in the pursuit of collective security and economic development will ensure peace and stability in the region through the platform provided by ECOWAS.

Listing the threats ranging from insurgency, terrorism to piracy, human and drugs trafficking, oil theft and other vices at sea, he said these security threats have been exacerbated by the proliferation of small arms, and light weapons occasioned by the numerous porous borders within the sub-region.
General Olonisakin disclosed that the acquisition of these weapons has emboldened the criminal elements in their nefarious activities.

“The growing trend of local terrorist organizations affiliated with and receiving support from well known international terrorist organizations has also become very worrisome. This trend portends grave danger to our collective security. It is a matter of concern that terrorism and violent extremism have continued to threaten the peace and security of our sub-region. These security threats have been exacerbated by the proliferation of small arms, and light weapons occasioned by the numerous porous borders within the sub-region.

This threat calls for collective action on the path of each member state as well as collaboration with other stakeholders and partners. In this regard we need to intensify intelligence gathering, joint and combined operations to combat this menace. It is hoped that through this frequent interaction of ECOWAS Chiefs of Defence Staff and our political leaders, our collective efforts at ensuring peace and stability in our region will be fruitful,” he added.

While emphasizing the need for more frequent interaction among the Committeeof Chiefs of DefenceStaff, he described the ongoing meeting as “another ray of opportunity to interact and avail ourselves the information and collaboration needed to better the cause of ECOWAS region.”

He expressed appreciation to Presidents and Commanders-in- Chief of the Armed Forces of the various countries in the sub-region for their unwavering commitments to ensuring that their various Armed Forces are provided with the wherewithal to execute regional responsibilities despite other competing demands.

Meanwhile, the Permanent Secretary, Federal Ministry of Defence (Nigeria), Mrs Nuratu Batagarawa called for more training for the troops to enhance their operational capability.
She congratulated General Olonisakin on his new appointment and promised the support of the Federal Government of Nigeria to the smooth conduct of the Command Post Exercise by the ECOWAS Standby Force scheduled to hold in Nigeria later in the year.

The Permanent Secretary who was also the Special Guest of Honour at the meeting enjoined the ECOWAS Standby Force to continue to support, cooperate and collaborate with the Nigerian military in the fight against terrorism and other vices facing the nation and the sub-region.

Also speaking at the event, the immediate past Chairman of the Committee represented by the Deputy CDS of Togo, Brigadier General Adjitowou Colman thanked Nigeria for the support, hospitality and other efforts in helping to secure the sub-region.

Enumerating some of the achievements of the committee, he mentioned strides made in Liberia, Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Mali among other countries within the sub-region saying “we are laying the foundation for our Standby Force to be able to have a better reaction in the event of security challenges.”
He asked for measures that will tame the terrorists hampering development in the region.

The Togolese military chief also called for field visits, exercises, more solidarity, joint actions and other efforts to monitor and evaluate the readiness of the troops. These he said will create stability in the region and resist the forces of evil from spreading.

The ECOWAS Commissioner for Political Affairs, Peace and Security, Brigadier General Francis Benhazin while also speaking at the event enumerated some efforts made by the commission in containing the crises that could have brewed from disagreements after local elections in some countries of the sub-region.

The meeting which continues tomorrow will evaluate the security threats in the ECOWAS sub-region and the surrounding nations while reinforcing multilateral cooperation among member states.

Guy...Chadian forces have been spotted in Borno on numerous occasions. The fact that they did not set up camp or left does not make it less than an invasion. Nigerian troops will not cross into Cameroon or Chad or even Niger without prior notification or authorization. The Chadians are walking tall..and can you blame them? Having the U.S and France set up shop in Chad makes the country virtually impenetrable. Chad has the most capable desert armies in the region.

Mate that's not true, I dont know who gave you this false Informations. It's totally misinterpreted !
Am saying this because have been there not on what people say or Chadian Forces where spotted. It does not happen unless patrols or pursue of BH elements where been pursue into border towns.

As usual succinctly said


As the saying goes... Always follow the money.

.Paper trail.

If money was everything as you guys claimed....
Why didn't US government didn't sell us military equipment worth over $344.7m during Obama regime.
I think it as to be more of regional power-play and politics.

I stopped reading when I saw igala herdsmen

nemesis8u:
Unfortunately nothing is black and white

What will Russia do for them ?

Buy their oil ? Russia already has its own . Weapons many countries can supply , no shortage.

Emiratis r the ones in the driver seat since they r the ones with lots of dollars and options.

Buyer is always in a privileged position compared to seller and if there r multiple suppliers then the buyer is the king.

Russia needs dollars, not the emiratis so they will play along.

As for balls , everybody has balls

problem is one has only 1 single pair of balls , non replaceable

so who is desperate enough to loose their balls for somebody half way across the world ?

And what about I ternational arms trade law: irrespective of who owns the dollar. Remember the Leah's stopped us from getting the Tucano jets during Obama regime and see what happened during Trumps regime..
Today they might be your friend tomorrow they are not.

I don't know what point you're trying to make.
The fact is glaring for everyone to see, the villages being rampaged are carried out by militant herdsmen. If you ask where herdsmen keep their cattles during invasion then you also have to ask where multinational oil coys keep their expatriates when tension escalates with host communities. That being said you can go to YouTube and look for a documentary done by TVC on villages raided by bandits and listen to eye witness account. Also if you had listen to channels 10pm news yesterday, a reporter covered the incident in Taraba, old women gave account on how their communities where raided and their people killed mindlessly they mentioned "fulanis".
You won't feel the heat till a close relative fall victims to this senseless violence. OBJ talked about the activities of these marauders and everyone was lambasting him.
Again I ask for how long shall we continue to play the Ostrich?

Abeg just leave the dude alone- if is seriously pressed and pained he will create a thread where people could contribute positively.

I highly doubt it


As u said normally 3rd party transfer is not possible without sanction from country of origin but some countries have too much money , so they don't give a fuccck about permissions. Rules Ver money guess who wins

I seriously got a complain against the dinosaurs and crustaceans etc , why did they have to die enmass in the Arabian peninsula , they all could have died happily in the backyard of my home

I know the Emiratis.... are suffering from too much money down syndrome but they wouldn't want to jeopardise the relationship they have with the Russians because the Americans are not that reliable. Today you are friends tomorrow you are no more, next tomorrow is sanctions upon sanctions and any other countries that dares to sell might be sanctioned as well.
Only Russians and the Chinese got the balls to dare them.

chkil0:
In weapons contracts, you can't sell the weapons you bought without the agreement of the producing country .

for the pantsir curious to know if russia gave its agreement to emiratis .

Definitely the Russians did...

chkil0:
Russia should control better its weapons second hand sell .

Curious to know why they give the pantsir to hafter . the last aircraft in the hand of gouvernment forces is out of service . so they got zero air force threat to hafter forces

Hmmmmmmm......

HAPPY MARRIED LIFE JUNIOR..
