According to the NSA, the situation in the Sahel has never been grimmer as extremist violence continues to spread with the number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPS) rising and increasing rate of food insecurity.

He said there is a need to look again and reset foreign and regional government strategies towards the Sahel and set aside faulty assumptions.

Monguno asked the international community and its Sahelian partners to prioritise governance, cautiously pursue an expanded peace process through dialogue, and push for the adoption of more non-kinetic measures through affected communities.

According to Monguno, the adoption of both kinetic and non-kinetic methods by LCBC countries to curb the conflict has yielded tremendous success.
