Sheikh Ahmad Gumi, an Islamic scholar, has maintained that talks with bandits are effective.
Gumi pointed out that since talks with terrorists in the Niger Delta had previously been successful, the government shouldn’t abandon them.
The renowned Islamic expert claimed that the war is ineffective in a post on his Facebook site.
He emphasized that there is no evidence that the military will stop combating robbers and Boko Haram.
They claim that negotiations are ineffective, according to Gumi. It is untrue. It collaborated with militants in the waterways of the Niger Delta. Instead, it’s an ineffective battle; we’ve been battling BH for 16 years and bandits for 11. Doing the same thing and expecting different outcomes is foolish.
“When they hate, you hate, they demonize, you demonize, they get violent, and you become violent, a vicious cycle of violence begins.
We must all learn how to resolve conflicts via compromise and negotiation in order to break it. The strategy must be founded on a moral, religious, and intellectual rejection of violence.
