These have resulted in loss of lives, destruction of property, fear and tension across the country. Severally, these issues of insecurity have been attributed to the activities of non-Nigerians who enter the country illegally through the various unofficial borders across the nation. This study examined the phenomenon of cross border armed banditry and its implications on Nigeria National Security. The study deployed the qualitative research model in generating primary data while secondary data was retrieved from books, journals and internet materials. Findings indicate that cross border armed banditry has been triggered and sustained by the neglect of border communities by government, collaboration and partnership between criminals and some residents of border communities. Cross border armed banditry has worsened insecurity and distorted livelihood patterns. Thus, the study recommends a total overhaul of Nigeria’s border security management strategy.

{"title":"Paradigms of Humanitarian Intervention and Peace Support Operation in War Zone: A Reflection of Russo-Ukrainian War","authors":"Osimen Goddy Uwa, Moyosoluwa Dele-Dada","doi":"10.7176/iags/99-02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.7176/iags/99-02","url":null,"abstract":": Humanitarian intervention and Peace support operation has become an increasingly important and as well as turning into controversial topic over time. The Russian-Ukrainian War, which began in 2014, serves as a relevant case study for the discussion of humanitarian intervention and Peace support operation. The Russia-Ukraine war is a complex and politically sensitive matter involving several parties with competing interests. The violence within the region has resulted in a substantial amount of human suffering, including displacement, injuries, and deaths; as a result, there is an immediate need for humanitarian relief to assist those who have been affected. However, before taking any action, especially one with military repercussions, there is a need to weigh the political ramifications and ensure that doing so will not only make things worse but also violate international norms. Thus, the difficulty lies in bringing about a permanent and peaceful conclusion to the conflict while also providing adequate humanitarian aid in various forms. Therefore, this paper examines the impact of humanitarian intervention and Peace support operation in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian War. From the findings of the paper, it was revealed that the war has had a huge humanitarian impact on both Russia and Ukraine. While allies of either side could not officially participate in the war, they provided each side with various supports ranging from military assistance, financial aid, healthcare services to diplomatic support, to bring the woes of the war to an end. This paper concludes that the Russian-Ukrainian War serves as a key example of the complexities and challenges of humanitarian intervention in situations of war. It highlights the importance of finding new and innovative approaches to address mass atrocities, while also emphasizing the need for the international community to find a way to address the humanitarian crisis in conflict-affected regions.","PeriodicalId":358479,"journal":{"name":"International Affairs and Global Strategy","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124532966","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
