\u201cNow is not the time to run away. It\u2019s time to resist. When they [the jihadists] enter our fields what we have to do is chase them and resist with a knife, a machete [or] a spear and then one of you runs to communicate to the security forces to join and chase these jihadists away,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He assured the population that the militants were being pursued and some had been killed during armed confrontations.<\/p>\n

In Quissanga district, local residents, particularly the youth, asked for weapons to help defend their land from jihadist invasions.<\/p>\n

The police chief assured that those who are qualified would be integrated into the local force \u2013 a group that works with government soldiers and international allies in the fight against terrorism.<\/p>\n
