Regulating Autonomous Weapon Systems
Lethal autonomous weapon systems (LAWS), while offering strategic advantages in warfare, pose significant ethical, legal, and security risks, especially for countries in the Global South. This article examines how a philosophical perspective, rooted in African ethical and political thought, can enrich regional and global debates on regulating LAWS, which remain dominated by Eurocentric assumptions. The findings of this study, which draw from seco…
The Ukraine War and Russia's Soft Power in Africa
The Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 has attracted widespread international attention and condemnation, especially from Western countries. While Ukraine has received waves of assistance, Russia has been sanctioned and isolated by Western countries and their allies. Nevertheless, most countries in Africa have neither supported nor condemned Russia's war in Ukraine. A growing number of literatures has explained the drivers of this and other rela…
Electoral Violence in Nigeria
There is a popular assumption that off-cycle subnational elections should be better governed and more peaceful than general elections. This position is premised on the notion that limited geographical and demographical scope of such elections offers the national electoral body, security agencies and other key actors in electoral governance the opportunities to concentrate resources and energies in a given jurisdiction for maximum efficiencies. Th…
Military Space Strategies and African Realism
This chapter examines the development of space strategies for military-security purposes in Africa, its rationales in the framework of African realism, and the implications for national and international security. In addition to civil and commercial space programs, some African nations have developed military space strategies, as indicated by their interests, commitments, capabilities, and operations. Drawing from the experiences of Egypt, South …
The ethno-regional and religious drivers of Nigeria’s foreign policy
Mali is still unsafe under the military
Ethno-religious Conflicts and the Challenges of National Security in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic
The threats of ethnic, religious, and ethno-religious conflicts have endured in Nigeria and become increasingly alarming in the fourth republic, which started in 1999. Ethno-religious conflicts are hostile engagements where actors and their motivations reflect a combination of ethnic and religious interests. These conflicts are deeply rooted in colonial legacies, ethno-religious-based distributions of power and resources, and failure of the post-…
Forces of Terror
Nigeria has confronted several security conundrums in recent years, including armed banditry, which poses a severe threat to the north-west and the entire nation. North-west Nigeria has been hit by an unprecedented wave of kidnappings, maiming, killings, population displacements, cattle rustling, and disruption of socio-economic activities due to the rise of armed bandits in the region. These events have created a climate of uncertainty that has …
Shock and awe
Insecurity has worsened in Northwest Nigeria, due to the threat of armed banditry, necessitating the deployments and operations of the military. While there is increasing academic attention on the origins, causes, and nature of this threat, the conduct, achievements, prospects, and challenges of the military’s counter-banditism response in the region remains understudied. Accordingly, foregrounded by the need to close this gap, this qualitative s…
Boko Haram's Terrorist Campaign in Nigeria
Struck and killed in Nigerian Air Force’s campaigns
The involvement of the air force in a series of Joint Task Force (JTF) arrangements, which were initiated to neutralise various security threats, accounted for a growing record of air campaigns in Nigeria. Although there is growing public attention for airpower in Nigeria, its operational relevance and associated concerns have received inadequate academic attention. Accordingly, the understanding of recent developments in Nigeria’s air campaigns …
Violence in Nigeria’s 2019 general elections
Civil-military Relations
The growing strength, responsibilities, and involvement in internal security operations of the Nigerian armed forces have brought rapid increase in the number of military bases required to accommodate personnel and project their operations across the country. Nigeria is currently estimated to have between 250 and 330 military bases that are dispersed across the 36 states and the federal capital territory, from where different operations have been…
The quest for space capabilities and military security in Africa
Many African nations are increasingly exploring the space frontier in pursuit of their development and security aspirations, with some 30 space agencies, 41 satellites and several ground facilities sponsored across the continent. Although most space programmes in Africa are administered by civilians and designed for research and development purposes, there is also a military-security dimension. During the Cold War, some African countries (promine…
Women as Agents of Terror
In an attempt to pay attention to the growing trend of terrorism and insurgent conflicts in Africa, this article examines the involvement of women as agents of terror. The prevailing narration of armed conflicts including terrorism and insurgency in Africa and across the world are largely masculine. In this framework, women are only recognised as victims in a series of campaigns of terror engineered by men. However, the enduring involvement of wo…
Flying and bombing
There is a growing resort to air power in Nigeria’s military and security engagements in the oil producing region of Niger Delta. However, most literatures on security engagements in the region overlook air power, or reduce it to unnecessary flying and indiscriminate bombing of civilians. Air power plays a considerable role in surveillance and coercion against the menace of kidnapping, sabotage, oil theft and illegal oil refining, militancy, and …

The Quest for Hegemony and the Future of African Solutions to African Development Problems
The problems of African development and integration with the world of globalisation have continued to attract concern in the policymaking cycle and the academic world, within and beyond the shores of the continent. Ever since the issues of economic development became the continent's priority, a series of propositions have been advanced and considered. Against a background of post-colonial nationalism, most African leaders have preferred African s…
Making the Sky Relevant to Battle Strategy
One of the most important roles in counterinsurgency (COIN) is to maintain adequate security presence to protect lives and properties of the affected population and restore law and order in the society. Accordingly, the state of affairs in Nigeria's COIN theater has been affected by the quantity and quality of security presence, most especially the ability of the operatives to gather timely and relevant information and mobilize for prompt respons…
The fate of hostages
The violence against hostages in Nigeria's armed conflicts is alarming. Killings, physical mutilation, sexual abuse, forced marriage, religious persecution, forced labour and conscription of hostages have all been recorded during Nigeria's conflicts in recent times. This trend has increased the concern for the fate of hostages in the country. However, there have been a few exceptions: some have escaped from their abductors, while a few others hav…
