Ex-NATO chief says UK ‘not safe’

Former NATO secretary general George Robertson has warned that Britain’s national security is “in peril”, declaring that the UK is “not safe” under current defence arrangements. In extracts of a speech reported by the Financial Times and BBC, Robertson accused Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government of “corrosive complacency” on defence. He said the Iran war should serve as a “rude wake‑up call” to the risks the UK faces. “We are underprepared. We are underinsured. We are under attack. We are not safe,” the former Labour defence secretary was quoted as saying. Robertson led a government‑commissioned review of Britain’s defence capabilities, published last year, and was expecting ministers to follow it with a 10‑year defence investment plan. That plan was meant to be released late last year but has yet to appear. He told the Financial Times there was a gap […]

Nigeria spends N32.8trn on defence in 15 years as insecurity persists

Nigeria has spent about N32.88 trillion on defence in the last 15 years, roughly 12.5 percent of total national budgets of N262.834 trillion over the period, yet insecurity remains widespread across the country . Based on official budget exchange rates, the N32.88 trillion translates to about 44.64 billion dollars, but communities across several regions still face insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes and oil related violence . Security trackers estimate that more than 100,000 Nigerians have been killed in violent incidents and conflict related attacks since 2012, with thousands abducted and millions displaced from their homes . In 2026 alone, at least 1,091 people were reported killed in violent attacks in the first 41 days of the year, while about 3.726 million Nigerians are currently displaced and living in roughly 3,900 camps nationwide . The recent suicide bombings in Maiduguri, Borno […]

Nigeria

Will more defence funds make Nigeria safer

Nigeria has spent about 32.88 trillion naira on defence in the last 15 years, roughly 12.5 percent of total national budgets of 262.834 trillion naira in that period, yet insecurity remains widespread across the country . Despite these rising allocations, many communities still face insurgency, banditry, kidnapping, communal clashes and oil related violence, raising doubts about whether more money alone can make Nigerians safer . Security trackers estimate that over 100,000 people have been killed in violent incidents since 2012, with thousands abducted and about 3.726 million citizens displaced and living in roughly 3,900 camps nationwide . The trend has continued into 2026, with at least 1,091 deaths recorded from violent attacks in just the first 41 days of the year, underscoring the scale of Nigeria’s security crisis despite years of increased defence spending . Against this backdrop, the National […]

Europe welcomes Rubio’s tone but vows to stay more independent

European leaders have broadly welcomed the tone of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s speech on transatlantic ties at the Munich Security Conference, but many say it will not change their push for a more autonomous Europe. In his keynote address, Rubio described the United States as the “offspring of Europe” and called for unity with allies while also criticising them on issues such as defence spending and global governance. A senior French minister said Rubio’s recognition of shared history and common values was positive, but stressed that Europe would still pursue a stronger and more independent role in security and foreign policy. He noted that European countries have heard similar messages from past US administrations and that their long term goal remains to build a resilient, self reliant Europe inside a strong NATO. Another European foreign minister said Rubio’s […]

Rubio urges calmer US Europe ties as Trump era shocks strain Munich security talks

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says ties between the United States and Europe have reached a defining moment as leaders gather for the Munich Security Conference.​ Speaking before the meeting in Germany, Rubio said the old world order is gone and a new era in geopolitics is emerging that will force both sides to rethink their roles. He stressed that the United States and Europe remain deeply linked and must discuss how to shape their shared future.​ The annual forum in Munich comes after years of turbulence under President Donald Trump, whose harsh rhetoric and disruptive policies have shaken U.S. alliances. European partners have watched Washington topple Venezuela’s leader, threaten other Latin American governments, impose tariffs on allies and rivals and even talk about annexing Greenland from NATO partner Denmark.​ Last year at Munich, Vice President JD Vance clashed […]
