In the shadow of a tragedy that unfolded in Sabon Gari, where five soldiers lost their lives amidst the chaos of brutality, a grave silence echoes louder than the gunfire. This is not mere news; it is a harrowing tale of loss, sacrifice, and the cold reality that often, the voices of the fallen fade into obscurity.
The soldiers, valiantly defending their homeland, are not just statistics; they are brothers, fathers, and sons who stood against the tide of violence threatening to engulf their community.
As the dust settles on the anguish of their families, a haunting question arises who will condemn the despicable actions of those who orchestrated this attack? The silence from prominent human rights organizations, typically vociferous in their denunciations, is deafening.
Organizations like Amnesty International, which rally against human rights violations, have seemingly turned a blind eye to the atrocities committed by groups like ISWAP and Boko Haram.
The narrative has become skewed, focusing instead on the missteps of the Nigerian military while the true architects of this chaos roam free, unchallenged and unabated.
Is it not a perverse irony that the perpetrators, responsible for the deaths of more than 200,000 people in Northeast Nigeria, seem to escape the glare of accountability? The leadership of these terrorist factions, whose images flood our screens, continues to walk the earth as if beyond the reach of justice.
Where are the calls for accountability that should resonate across international platforms? Where is the solidarity for the brave souls who lay down their lives for a nation that grapples daily with the scars of insurrection?
This selective outrage breeds a deep seated frustration, an injustice that mocks the very essence of human rights. It raises an unsettling query: are we truly living in a fair world, or is this silence a tacit endorsement of a narrative that prioritizes some lives over others? Each unaddressed tragic loss amplifies the feeling of abandonment among the families of the brave soldiers. It perilous divide, must be bridged if there is to be any semblance of justice or empathy in this world.
A plea for equity emerges from this darkness a demand that all lives, especially those of the fallen defenders, be honored and acknowledged. The call to action must not only echo in the hearts of those affected but resonate across international borders, prompting discussions and actions aimed at bringing these terrorists to justice.
A world that turns a blind eye to such violence cannot claim to be just or fair.
