Nigeria’s military cannot meet the president’s December deadline to crush Boko Haram,the Centre for Crisis Communication (CCC) said today .
Executive Secretary of CCC, Air Commodore Yusuf Anas (Rtd) while briefing the press in Abuja on Thursday that the December 2015 deadline for the defeat of the insurgents by President Muhammadu Buhari is unrealistic .
He said, “the time line on when to stop the insurgents from activating sleeper cells and detonating bombs into soft targets in any part of the country, especially in the frontline states is therefore, no tenable in the current efforts by the armed forces of Nigeria.“It must also be stated that this target date might be unrealistic.
This submission is predicated on the fact that asymmetric warfare which the Boko Haram is prosecuting against the Nigeria is not such that can be easily be stamped out by the Armed Forces.“Similarly, we should also not trade blame with the military over the issue.
Nigerians should rather continue to cooperate with the government and support the security forces to ensure that the enemies do not continue to have an opportunity to unleash terror in our country.”
