Weapons Looted During Libyan Conflict Found with Extremists in Nigeria – UN

The United Nations has raised serious concern that some weapons looted during the 2011 conflict in Libya have ended up in the hands of extremist groups operating in Nigeria. Speaking at UN Headquarters in New York, Izumi Nakamitsu, the UN Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, expressed concern over the long-term impact of illicit arms trafficking, noting that the uncontrolled flow of weapons from Libya has created a cycle of instability in the Sahel and West Africa. According to UN officials, arms from Libya’s vast stockpiles were smuggled across porous borders into several Sahel countries, including Niger, Chad, Mali and Nigeria, where they now fuel terrorist violence and organised crime. Security analysts say the uncontrolled flow of these weapons has “created a cycle of instability in the region,” empowering insurgent groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP, as well as […]

Mideast War: Iran Has Agreed Not to Stock Nuclear Weapon, Trump Says

U.S. President Donald Trump has announced that Iran has agreed not to stockpile nuclear weapons, marking a potential breakthrough in diplomatic negotiations amid the ongoing Middle East war involving Tehran. The announcement came as the three-month-old conflict between the United States and Iran continues, with the war mired in a stalemate under a shaky ceasefire and the Strait of Hormuz largely closed to maritime traffic. The war began in late February following U.S. and Israeli military strikes on Iran, which targeted nuclear installations in both countries. President Trump has stated that the military campaign was initiated to prevent Iran from pursuing nuclear armament. Iran was previously viewed as being in a state of "nuclear weapons latency," meaning it possessed the necessary tools to develop a nuclear bomb but had not yet done so. In May 2025, the International Atomic Energy […]

Insecurity in Yorubaland: Is Amotekun Still Effective in South-West?

Four years after its creation, the regional security outfit Amotekun (Operation Leopard) is still grappling with the hydra-headed security challenges in Nigeria’s South-West, as kidnappings, killings, and banditry continue to surge across Yorubaland. When the Western Nigeria Security Network (WNSN), codenamed Operation Amotekun, was set up in 2020, it was launched with fanfare and optimism that it would tame the rising insecurity plaguing the Southwest. Four years on, however, stakeholders believe there has been a surge in crime and criminality within the region. Critical stakeholders, including traditional rulers, convened by the Ooni of Ife, Oba Adeyeye Ogunwusi, recently confirmed the worsening security situation during a summit on insecurity. The summit observed that there have been organised, systematic attacks on traditional rulers and eminent sons and daughters of Yoruba land by suspected herders. According to the Council on Foreign Relations’ Nigeria […]
