So yesterday on France24 they had a panel discussing Human Rights abuses in Nigeria and how to hold the FG accountable. It was an all white panel. Well? It's nothing new, no big deal..or so i thought.

Looks like they are bringing the Human Rights War to our doorsteps.

..under the guise of training our security forces on HR. Ive made a dozen thread on this subject. Each time the Nigerian military records significant gains, Human Right bombs begin raining down on the Nigerian government. Now France is gunning for the military using

.as usual, so called Human Rights Watchdogs as a front.

How is it that Nigeria, a Federal democracy with a population the size of Britain and France combined is allows French NGOs a foothold into Nigeria going by their past record?

In December 2018 a French NGO Action Against Hunger was caught in the forest giving food and medicine to Boko Haram fighters. They were subsequently kicked out. Yet we continue to accommodate French based NGOs.

Now the Nigerian military is making spectacular gains,

rather than look forward to the complete eradication of a murderous insurgent group that has killed tens of thousands of innocent civilians, they are applying unecessary distractiona for an army at war.

Trying to bully the military to walk on earth shells with a threat of severe consequences looming over the Nigerian military.

The military should be lauded for finally hititng these murderous group that has killed and maimed tens of thousands of Nigerians.

Instead the Nigerian military is subtly threatened by the France (who hide behind HRGs) warning of severe consequences if human rights violations persists.

For clarity sake lets relive events of the past 72 hours.

SEPTEMBER 21,2021:

The Nigerian army announces 8,000 Boko Haram/ISWAP fighters have surrendered.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2021:

A French organization warns the Nigerian military it must understand there will be consequences for human rights violations.

We all know where this is heading. France is currently in an ongoing spat with the UK, Australia and the U.S.

French defence minister is in Mali trying to persuade the military junta not to allow Russian into Mali

and here they are in the regional hegemon Nigeria, issuing a vieled threat to the Nigerian military to be ready to face consequences of human rights abuse persists.

Looks like the French are itching for a fight with just about everybody.
