"The first important distinction to make is that the Nigerian army is generally considered better equipped and trained than their counterparts in the Sahel. So many of the pitfalls associated with French counterterrorism operations in the Sahel could be mitigated."
"With these countries trying to come in and help Nigeria once we coordinate with them and they are able to [make an] impact to our military with the technology of the day, I'm sure it will help in counterterrorism in Northeastern Nigeria and even in other parts, particularly the North."
France has renewed its support for Nigeria in combating violent extremism, particularly against groups like Boko Haram and ISWAP. The collaboration focuses on intelligence sharing, joint training, and capacity building for Nigerian security forces. Analysts note that Nigeria's military is better equipped than those in the Sahel, which may lead to more effective counterterrorism efforts. Nigerian forces have extensive experience in dealing with these threats, and coordination with French support could enhance their capabilities in the region.
