Abstract

The paper examined historical and socio-economic factors contributing to the emergence of Lakurawa terrorism in North West Nigeria. The Lakurawa is one of the terrorist organizations operated in Nigerian Republic's forests that is situated along its shoreline, which became a haven for terrorist groups. Approximately seven camps are operating in areas such as Bangi, Dankano, Galmi, Maradi, Masallata, and YarBasira. The strategic location enables free movement between Nigeria and Niger, facilitating the establishment of hidden camps within the vast bushlands of the region. The absence of the federal government created an ungoverned space, leading to a power vacuum. The paper was elicited through a secondary data gathering technique. The paper revealed that Lukarawara emerged in the northwest of Nigeria via the invitation of the residents to support in the fight against armed bandits. However, the relationship quickly deteriorated due to accusations of cattle theft and attempts to enforce strict Islamic law. The success of Lukarawa's attacks is a combination of factors, including cultural affinity, religious affiliation, porous border, bad governance, economic inequality, and high poverty rates. The paper recommends, amongst others, that the Nigerian government should prioritise rebuilding its partnership with the Nigerien junta to revitalise their mutually beneficial military alliance.

Abstract

Abstract The Israel– Palestine (Hamas) conflict in the Gaza Strip has persisted for decades, marked by cyclical violence and chronic diplomatic stalemate. One of the latest attempts to end this enduring conflict emerged from the initiative of U.S. President Donald J. Trump through the so-called “20-Point Gaza Peace Plan,” which was claimed to offer a comprehensive solution. However, this approach has been widely criticized for its transactional nature, perceived bias, and neglect of the historical and existential complexities underlying the conflict. This article aims to critically analyze Trump’s peace initiative through the philosophical framework of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1807), particularly his concepts of Anerkennung (mutual recognition) and the Master–Slave dialectic, in order to evaluate whether the plan could lead to sustainable peace or merely reinforce existing structures of domination. Employing a qualitative approach with literature study and philosophical discourse analysis, this research draws on primary sources such as official documents of Trump’s peace plan, international institutional reports, and secondary literature on Hegelian thought and its application in conflict and international politics. The analysis reveals that, while Trump’s peace plan functions as an antithesis that disrupts the prevailing status quo, it fails to produce a reconciliatory synthesis because it does not address the core of the conflict: the absence of existential recognition between Israel and Hamas. The plan reproduces an asymmetric power relationship, positioning Israel as the hegemonic “Master” and Palestine as the subordinated “Slave,” whose sovereignty is both limited and conditional. Without mutual recognition as equal political subjects, the proposed peace remains a temporary ceasefire vulnerable to collapse.

Abstract

The study examined the impact of Pakistan-Nigeria Defense Cooperation on the Nigerian Armed Forces. The study utilized a descriptive survey and documentary research design to provide a comprehensive analysis of the cooperation’s dimensions. The target population comprised serving personnel across the Nigerian Armed Forces, including the Army, Navy, and Air Force, estimated at approximately 20,000 members nationwide. Using the Taro Yamane sample size determination technique, a sample size of 400 respondents was drawn from this population. Primary and secondary data collection methods were applied. Descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that Pakistan-Nigeria Defense Cooperation demonstrated the strongest impact on defense partnership effectiveness. Defense Technology Transfer also played a crucial role that sharing advanced military technology strengthened the ties between the two countries’ armed forces. Additionally, Joint Military Exercises contributed positively that coordinated training improved operational coordination and preparedness. In conclusion, the study established that Pakistan-Nigeria Defense Cooperation substantially improved the Nigerian Armed Forces’ effectiveness by fostering deeper collaboration, enhancing technological capabilities, and promoting joint operational readiness. The study recommended that Defense Ministry should strengthen long-term defense agreements with Pakistan to ensure sustained capacity-building programs.

Abstract

Defining Terrorism within the context of South African government promulgated Terrorism Act of 1967 as’ action(s) that endanger the maintenance of law and order’, innocuously suggest that the phenomenon of terrorism in South African political space is not a recent development. This study examines the historical, socio-economic and demographic dis-equilibrium as indicative factors of terrorism within the context of South Africa. Theoretical postulations on the phenomenon of terrorism within the context of South Africa state experience also engaged the attention of this study. Attempts are made to identify the nexus between social relationships and the nature, essence and political dimensions of terrorism in South Africa. Using the two classical theories on counter-insurgency (the enemy-centric approach and the population-centric approach theories), the relative efficacies of governmental institutional mechanisms for counter-terrorism in South Africa are also examined.

Abstract

Boko Haram insurgency debuted in Nigeria in 2009 and has been on for more than eleven years and has become intractable even after the government instituted a counterinsurgency in 2013. This paper analysed the effect of the counterinsurgency on Boko Haram and the insurgency in Nigeria in general based on attacks by the insurgents. Historical data on attacks by Boko Haram and other criminal groups were collected using web scraping by Python and subjected to statistical analysis to build a relationship between the insurgency and the counterinsurgency. Eleven years data from 2012 were collected but six years data from 2017 to 2021 after the institution of the counterinsurgency were subjected to Regression analysis to establish a trend between the data; and Chi-square distribution test was used to determine the effect(s) of the six years of counterinsurgency. The Regression analysis showed that the counterinsurgency decreased the incidence of attacks by Boko Haram but did not reduce the insurgency due to the entrant of other players. The Chi-Square analysis inferred that the insurgency is affected by the years of the counterinsurgency, so they cannot be taken as independent events. However, the analysis did not establish the effects of one on the other.

Abstract

This study examines human rights violations in the recruitment of child soldiers in Darfur, Sudan, where more than 300,000 boys and girls under the age of eighteen were recruited by government armed forces, militias, or non-state armed groups. Using a qualitative literature study, this study aims to examine the factors behind the recruitment of child soldiers and examine the phenomenon using international humanitarian law. This study concludes that the recruitment of child soldiers is caused by competition for limited natural resources, easy access to weapons, and unequal levels of education and economy. The violations found based on humanitarian law are; 1) violating the minimum limit for child soldier recruitment by the state, which is 18 years (Article 2 of the Optional Protocol); 2) violating the minimum limit for child recruitment by non-government armed groups, namely 18 years (Article 4 of the Optional Protocol), 3) violating the conditions for voluntary recruitment of child soldiers (Article 3 paragraph (3) of the Optional Protocol).

Abstract

This study examines Kompas.com’s news construction of the bombing at the Makassar Cathedral Church on 28 March 2021 by integrating Entman’s Media Framing theory with Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis. Using all news reports published between 28 March and 5 April 2021, the study finds that Kompas frames the event through security-oriented diction, agent–action structures that foreground state authorities as the primary actors, and high-modality statements that minimize uncertainty during the early crisis phase. Intertextual references to previous terrorism cases accelerate the labeling of the perpetrators as part of the JAD network. At the level of discursive practice, reliance on official sources and the speed pressures of digital journalism produce a pattern of authoritative indexing that locks the narrative from the outset. The analysis of social practice further shows that the reporting reproduces the hegemony of state security discourse while marginalizing alternative perspectives. This study highlights the need for source diversification and the strengthening of critical journalism in terrorism coverage.putrikhairunnisa880@gmail.com
