00:00:00,160 –> 00:00:04,799
Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tingo has
learned the rising weather of terrorism in the

2
00:00:04,839 –> 00:00:11,480
Africa continent on poverty and social injustice
and equality. President Balatingo made the remark

3
00:00:11,560 –> 00:00:16,399
while speaking at the African High Level
Meeting on counter Terrorism in Abuja on Monday.

4
00:00:17,079 –> 00:00:22,440
A news released by the Presidential spokesperson, Archuarim Guellaler indicated that the President

5
00:00:22,519 –> 00:00:27,920
said Africa must take a comprehensive approach
to combating terrorism not only through mind but

6
00:00:28,120 –> 00:00:32,759
by addressing the root causes of this
school, which include poverty, equality and

7
00:00:32,840 –> 00:00:38,560
social injustice. The statement reads for
that the President Bollatingu has called for the

8
00:00:38,640 –> 00:00:43,520
establishment of a regional counter Terrorism Center
that will serve as a hub for intelligence

9
00:00:43,560 –> 00:00:50,840
sharing or professional coordination and capacity building
throughout Africa. President tingoble emphasized that while

10
00:00:50,880 –> 00:00:55,520
seeking to address the root causes of
terrorism, Africa must also attack the roots

11
00:00:55,520 –> 00:01:00,079
that feed this evil branch ransom and
illegal mining as terrorism evolved and perfect ways

12
00:01:00,079 –> 00:01:06,879
to continuously finance, re equip and
resupply itself for its sinister mission. Not

13
00:01:06,959 –> 00:01:11,840
only does it kidnap people, it
kidnaps precious resources billions upon billions of dollars

14
00:01:11,840 –> 00:01:18,480
that legitimate governments should be using to
sculpt better societies by providing education, health

15
00:01:18,480 –> 00:01:22,079
care and food for its people,
now go to pay for weapons and response

16
00:01:22,120 –> 00:01:26,799
to Mayhem. Look at the illegal
mining that cleared so many of our nations

17
00:01:26,840 –> 00:01:32,439
today. Those who think illegal mining
has no connection with financing terrorism are solely

18
00:01:32,480 –> 00:01:38,040
mistaken. The international community has both
the moral and legal obligation to help in

19
00:01:38,079 –> 00:01:42,480
this cause because it is external finance, not African money, that foils these

20
00:01:42,480 –> 00:01:47,640
illegal oppressions. We shall be knocking
on this door of the international community to

21
00:01:47,719 –> 00:01:52,359
answer this call for justice, peace
and fair play. Key to our collective

22
00:01:52,400 –> 00:01:57,920
efforts against terrorism is the urgent need
for a fully oppressional regional counter terroism center,

23
00:01:57,159 –> 00:02:02,319
the President started. The President,
however, added that the African region

24
00:02:02,439 –> 00:02:09,039
must strengthen existing counterterronism structures such as
the Regional Intelligence Future Units how I a

25
00:02:09,039 –> 00:02:14,759
few in Abuja, the African Center
for the Study and Research on Terrorism a

26
00:02:14,919 –> 00:02:20,439
CSRTY in all jails, and the
Committee of Intelligence and Security Services of Africa

27
00:02:20,680 –> 00:02:25,319
CISSA in Addis Ababa. He underscored
the importance of a regional stand by those

28
00:02:25,400 –> 00:02:30,560
that includes tackling terrorism as part of
its mandate declaring it must not be abandoned.

29
00:02:31,199 –> 00:02:36,840
I am mindful of the funding,
legal and logistical complexities that face the

30
00:02:36,840 –> 00:02:42,120
proper establishment of such a force.
However, with the prudent and clearly defined

31
00:02:42,120 –> 00:02:46,960
mandate that are called with the international
law and respect national sovereignty, such a

32
00:02:46,960 –> 00:02:52,319
cost can serve as a rapid deployment
mechanism capable of swiftly responding to major threats

33
00:02:52,360 –> 00:02:57,000
and both during the security of our
region, such a cost can stand as

34
00:02:57,000 –> 00:03:00,879
a strong deterrent to lifestyle and protracted
terrorists of Russians and the capture or compassion

35
00:03:01,039 –> 00:03:07,520
or disruption of strategic land and resources. We must continue to make careful yet

36
00:03:07,599 –> 00:03:14,199
meaningful progress toward this goal. Establishing
an all inclusive African Union Ministerial Committee on

37
00:03:14,280 –> 00:03:17,719
countert Aroism is also a high priority, as envisilged in the Declaration of the

38
00:03:17,759 –> 00:03:23,599
sixteen Extraordinary Soviets of the African Union
Assembly two years ago. In mid twenty

39
00:03:23,680 –> 00:03:28,560
twenty two, this will ensure that
a forum of high level government officials meet

40
00:03:28,639 –> 00:03:32,800
regularly to assess our accountert arobism efforts
and provide guidance on how to further improve,

41
00:03:32,919 –> 00:03:38,120
the President said, speaking on the
efforts of Nigeria. In batting the

42
00:03:38,240 –> 00:03:43,319
veness Presidents sym Who said, the
nations counter aroism capabilities have been enhanced through

43
00:03:43,400 –> 00:03:50,400
the enactment of the Terrorism Prevention and
Prohibition Acts establishing the National Counter Aroism Center

44
00:03:50,639 –> 00:03:54,080
and Cities c We have and will
continue to take boat steps forward in seaf

45
00:03:54,120 –> 00:03:59,800
guarding our nation and the wider region. They are decator to coordinating and in

46
00:03:59,800 –> 00:04:04,840
the imminen counter terrorism strategies. The
en citi CE significantly enhances our capacity to

47
00:04:04,960 –> 00:04:10,919
detect, prevent, and respond to
terrorist threads. The Center has become a

48
00:04:11,000 –> 00:04:16,120
platform for stirring greater collaboration amongst stakeholders
and promoting synergy in our approach to fighting

49
00:04:16,199 –> 00:04:23,680
terrorism. Similarly, our security forces
continue to demonstrate courage and dedication in the

50
00:04:23,720 –> 00:04:29,480
fight against terrorism, often not great
personalities. I am grateful to the selfless

51
00:04:29,480 –> 00:04:32,920
both and sacrifice of these patriotic men
and women. They are the best of

52
00:04:32,959 –> 00:04:38,439
the best. I must also mention
the undoing need to hold the proliferation of

53
00:04:38,480 –> 00:04:43,920
small arms and light weapons as alw
on the continent. No one’s stat can

54
00:04:44,000 –> 00:04:48,240
solve this problem for itself. It
requires continuous and concerted action by all of

55
00:04:48,360 –> 00:04:54,360
us. We need to reposition our
regional organizations and build the capacity of our

56
00:04:54,439 –> 00:05:00,040
national institutions to effectively address these elements
of terrorism and violent extremism. Presidents started.

57
00:05:00,839 –> 00:05:05,839
The President affirmed that Nigeria is committed
to working with regional partners to strengthen

58
00:05:05,839 –> 00:05:12,199
ours controlled mergers, enhance border security, and disrupt the illicit trafficking networks that

59
00:05:12,319 –> 00:05:16,879
full well terrorism and organized crime,
while urging firm and expeditious actions against prevailing

60
00:05:16,879 –> 00:05:21,519
in security on the continent. As
leaders, let us show our people that

61
00:05:21,600 –> 00:05:27,319
their safety and welfare are paramounts.
May this conference based on saints and to

62
00:05:27,360 –> 00:05:30,759
the points. Let us keape rhetoric
to the minimum. Let us be focused

63
00:05:30,759 –> 00:05:35,879
and dedicated to pinpointing solutions and embarking
on the meaningful and strong action needed to

64
00:05:36,000 –> 00:05:41,879
in the day and free our continents
of violence extremists. May we do everything

65
00:05:41,920 –> 00:05:45,199
that is required of us to defeat
this challenge, so that five, ten

66
00:05:45,360 –> 00:05:48,600
or twenty years from now is his
historians who will be meeting to discuss how

67
00:05:48,639 –> 00:05:54,160
today became a major turning point in
the African continents defeat of the terrorists.

68
00:05:54,160 –> 00:06:01,160
Coach President Syllable concluded in his welcome
remarks national security advice Malam Luluribadus stated that

69
00:06:01,279 –> 00:06:05,720
terrorism in Africa is driven by a
number of factors including of the NIS,

70
00:06:05,800 –> 00:06:12,439
crime, foreign terrorist financing and training, poverty, equality for long conflicts,

71
00:06:12,560 –> 00:06:17,519
among others. He said Nigeria is
dealing decisively with all drivers of violence extremism,

72
00:06:17,759 –> 00:06:24,720
including economic and social eneblace, while
enhancing intelligence gathering through enhanced inter agency

73
00:06:24,800 –> 00:06:30,399
collaboration and confidence building with citizens.
He also said Nigeria is strengthening its judiciary

74
00:06:30,519 –> 00:06:34,639
to effectively deal with cases of terrorism
and has heirm at the funds to boost

75
00:06:34,680 –> 00:06:41,560
counter terrorism efforts. We have resumed
the prosecution of vocal harm suspects across the

76
00:06:41,600 –> 00:06:46,439
country, the National Security Advisor said. In her remarks, Deputy Secretary General

77
00:06:46,560 –> 00:06:51,639
of the United Nations, moods Aminah
Muhammad suggested that one of the words to

78
00:06:51,680 –> 00:06:56,959
remove the engenderers of terrorism on the
continent is for Africa to work to rebuild

79
00:06:56,959 –> 00:07:01,560
its social contract with its citizens and
deliver the good governance. Rebuilding the social

80
00:07:01,639 –> 00:07:06,480
contract is necessary for recovery. We
must tear attention to women and girls who

81
00:07:06,560 –> 00:07:13,120
are greatly impacted by terrorism, including
the youth. Providing support and healing for

82
00:07:13,199 –> 00:07:18,639
those impacted by terrorism is important,
The UN Deputy Secretary General said Under Secretary

83
00:07:18,680 –> 00:07:26,279
General of the United Nations Office of
counter Terrorism Uranu City resta lardingly for want

84
00:07:26,360 –> 00:07:30,120
of commanded Nigeria, for its leadership
in counter terrorism in Africa and for hosting

85
00:07:30,160 –> 00:07:35,519
the meeting. Terrorism is a threat
to peace and security, particularly in Africa,

86
00:07:35,600 –> 00:07:41,560
where its impact is mostly failed.
The success of Unu City in Africa

87
00:07:41,680 –> 00:07:46,480
hinges on its support for Africa led
programs and solutions. The Ungu City Under

88
00:07:46,560 –> 00:07:54,439
Secretary General said Lady Green dyed in
a mor logical way,
