Adopt Non-Kinetic Warfare Strategy To Finish Boko Haram, Says Pakistani Envoy

Pakistan’s High Commissioner to Nigeria, Lt.-Gen. Agha Farooq (rtd), has advised Nigeria to adopt non-kinetic warfare strategy in order to consolidate on the military’s gains in the counter-insurgency operations in the northeast.

He gave the advice in Abuja yesterday in a lecture he delivered at the National Defence College, titled “Non-Kinetic Warfare and National Security.”

He explained that the concept of non-kinetic warfare emphasised on exploiting fault lines and inefficiencies in the society with the aim of winning a war without necessarily fighting.
