Abstract

This paper examines the upsurge in rural violence in Nigeria occasioned by the activities of armed herdsmen. Focusing on the 25 April 2016 invasion of Nimbo Community in Enugu State, the paper argues that rural governance de icit and absence of effective security tending mechanisms took a turn for the worse. The major inding is that, beyond the common con lict triggers, the factionalization of a local vigilante in Nimbo bred criminal activities that escalated the tensed milieu. Traditional qualitative method of research was applied. The paper suggests prioritization of rural security in terms of intelligence gathering, response to early con lict warning signals and combat operations, as well as a multi-stakeholder consensus in mapping out mutually-rewarding terms of engagements for the pastoralists and sedentary farmers.

尼日利亚:宁博社区的农村土匪行为和社区复原力
本文考察了武装牧民活动引起的尼日利亚农村暴力事件的激增。以2016年4月25日对埃努古州Nimbo社区的入侵为重点,本文认为,农村治理的缺陷和缺乏有效的安全倾向机制使情况变得更糟。主要的发现是,除了常见的冲突诱因外,Nimbo当地治安维持者的派系化滋生了犯罪活动,使紧张的环境升级。采用传统的定性研究方法。本文建议在情报收集、对早期冲突预警信号的反应和作战行动方面优先考虑农村安全,并在为牧民和定居农民制定互惠互利的交战条款方面达成多方利益相关者共识。
