Former Ivory Coast president Laurent Gbagbo appears to be on a fast track for homecoming after being definitively acquitted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) of war crimes charges.

The ruling on Wednesday ends a legal saga that had enmeshed Gbagbo, 75, for nearly a decade, opening the door to what his supporters say will be a triumphant return.

A deeply divisive figure, Gbagbo was hauled off to the ICC after being forced out of power in April 2011 following a brief civil war, sparked when he refused to concede electoral defeat.

Gbagbo’s supporters, who have long clamoured his innocence, have been campaigning for his early return, arguing that it will heal the country’s wounds.

Terrorism, Banditry and Insurgency: Can Nigeria Survive Disintegration?

Nigerian Military Losing Control of the Northern Region of the Country; Apart from instability caused by Boko Haram insurgency in the North East, the North West is currently ravaged by well armed bandits who are mostly of Fulani extraction. Gangs of heavily armed bandits prowl the vast Dajin Rugu forest which spans several hundred square kilometres across Zamfara, Katsina and Kaduna states and even Niger State in central Nigeria, according to Fulani leaders.

Just this morning an unspecified number of female students of the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation in the Mando Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State have been abducted by gunmen. This is coming less than 48 hours after the Kaduna State Commissioner for Internal Security and Home Affairs, Mr. Samuel Aruwan presented the 2020 security situation report to the state governor, Malam Nasir El-Rufai. In that report, the commissioner had said bandits killed no fewer than 937 persons, kidnapped 1,972 persons, and rustled 7,195 cattle in the state in 2020 alone.

In the Southern part of Nigeria, there are growing agitation for secession by the people of South East and the people of South West, this constitute additional challenges for the already overstretched Nigeria Military. These secessionist movements are already showing signs of readiness to confront the Nigerian Military.

There is also growing clashes between armed pastoralist Fulani herders and indeginous farmers in many parts of Nigeria. For example, many victims of such clashes poured into Cameroon from Nigeria's northeastern state of Taraba, following deadly clashes with farming communities.

Many of the armed bandits are part of gangs involved in cross-border armed robbery and cattle-rustling in Nigeria, Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Senegal and Mali.

According to Saleh Bayeri, national secretary of MACBAN. "Bandits turn to highway robbery and Kidnapping and even rading herds of their kinsmen whom they begrudge for not coming to their aid in their predicament."
