It Is A War Crime For Soldiers To Attack A Community In Peace Time by gidgiddy: 2:46pm On Mar 17 |
When you sign up to join the armed forces, you sign up to defend people, sometimes at the cost of your life. That's what you're trained, equiped, armed and paid for. In the battle against terrorism, insecurity and criminality, there will be casualties However, when Soldiers go on revenge mission to kill and destroy communities where their comrades were killed, this is not only a crime, it is a war crime which the Nigerian constitution, the Rome statute and the Geneva convention are all against Odi, Orlu, Awo-Mmamma, Izombe, Obigbo and many others, all in the south of Nigeria, the story is the same. The Nigerian Army, sometimes the Nigerian Police as well, will move into a community where their members were reportedly killed, start shooting at anything that moves, and burn down the place Every week, Soldiers are killed in the North, but never have I heard that Soldiers attacked any community in the North. Just a few years ago, a serving Major General in the Nigerian Army, General Hassan Ahmed, was ambushed and killed by armed bandits in the North, nothing happened in the community If that happened in the South, they would wipe out the community. Nobody is allowed to take the law into their hands. The Nigerian Army attacking communities in a revenge mission is a violation of the constitution and international law 7 Likes 2 Shares |

gidgiddy: Where exactly are the soldiers being killed every week in the north? It shouldn't be too hard for you to name a place where the community members gathered to kill soldiers in the north. If you mean those killed while fighting bandits. The last time I checked bandits don't operate from villages or towns, they are based in the forest. And your charge of war crime is funny. What does it mean to attack? 7 Likes |

Now let me tell you what happens in the Nigeria military? 90% of the soldiers in the south are Hausas and Muslims. These soldiers particularly those from the northern parts of the country does not value human life especially those of the southerners who are mostly Christians. They take the slightest opportunity to kill and cause destruction because they already see the southerners as enemies. As long as you are not their Muslim brothers they Nigerian northern soldiers will wipe out an entire village at the slightest Provocation |

gidgiddy:I see you sidestepped my question. It is obvious you knew you were lying when you claimed soldiers are being killed every day in the north. Now, to your warcrime cry, what is the punishment for burning down houses during a raid? Death penalty, life imprisonment or a fine? And which court would hear the case of huts being burned during a military raid? As I schooled you during the Kanu's hysterical claims about extraordinary rendition, extra-national laws are useless when national security is concerned except in very few cases such as genocide and even in such cases the culprit countries have to be in the bad books of the powerful countries to be punished for it. Your right or wrong judgment is irrelevant to your accusation of war crimes. 3 Likes |

Its also a war crime for a community to sit back and watch members of their communities to kill members of the military who came to settle or maintain the peace between the warring communities.mind you those soldiers are from different part of the country. 2 Likes |

Very simple. Pick up the community leaders and dethrone irrevocably all Kings and chiefs plus LGA chairmen. Hold them until all the boys are picked. They know them! For me, no justification or rationalisation for killing military men! 1 Like |

Yorubas so much love the south south people!!! The love is so glaring The entire south is a conquered territory otherwise how do you explain this nonsense even with a southern president Another thing, how the Yorubas chose to make themselves the enemy of the south is mind boggling. They don't think about what their actions will tantamount to in the long run |
