The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has recorded series of successes in the fight against terrorism as Operation Nashrul Salam triggers more surrenders.
The Commander of the Joint Task Force, Major General Ibrahim Ali disclosed this when he paid a courtesy call on the Chief of Defence Staff, Armed Forces of Nigeria General Christopher Musa.
General Ali disclosed that an increasing number of terrorists have recently laid down their arms in the Republic of Chad, Cameroon, and Nigeria, demonstrating a significant shift in the ongoing operations against insurgency in the region.
He also commended the Nigerian Armed Forces for their unwavering support to the MNJTF in its efforts to combat terrorism.
The Force stressed that the MNJTF also intensified intervention in providing support to the communities to facilitate their recoveries through Quick Impact Projects. He stated that recently in Sector 3 Monguno-Nigeria, over eight communities benefited from thirty five projects in water, education and health sectors.
Responding, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, appreciated the MNJTF's dedication to stabilizing the Lake Chad area, highlighting its crucial economic importance to the neighboring countries.
He emphasized the need for continues support to the MNJTF in achieving its mandate and pledged more assistance to ensure the force's continued success in the fight against terrorism.
Operation Nashrul Salam, a non-kinetic operation of the MNJTF, has been instrumental in persuading terrorists to embrace peace and renounce violence in the Lake Chad area. This approach reflects a strategic shift towards addressing the root causes of conflict and promoting sustainable peace in the region.
The operation's success in encouraging surrenders from insurgents in multiple countries is a testament to the effectiveness of this non-violent approach in countering terrorism and fostering stability.
