Opis: This paper analyses the Nigerian military’s protracted counter-insurgency operations against terrorist and insurgent groups such as Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa Province. To counter these threats the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) have been deploying both kinetic and non-kinetic measures to curb the insecurity, but despite their efforts and successes insecurity continues to undermine peace development in the country. This paper, based on desk research and a field survey, analyses the challenges faced by the AFN, which include inadequate weaponry and equipment, human rights concerns, post-traumatic stress disorder, and poor interagency synergy, among other things. To this end, the paper provides some insights into what could be done to obviate these challenges.
