Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>A high-level delegation from the African Economic and Security (AES) bloc has arrived in Borno State to assess Nigeria\u2019s Borno Model and Operation Safe Corridor (OPSC) as part of efforts to enhance regional counter-terrorism strategies.<\/p>\n

The visit focuses on knowledge-sharing and capacity-building, allowing AES member states to adopt Nigeria\u2019s approaches to deradicalization, rehabilitation, and reintegration of former combatants. The Borno Model, spearheaded by Governor Babagana Umara Zulum, emphasizes community-driven interventions and local governance in the fight against terrorism. Meanwhile, OPSC, launched by the Defence Headquarters, provides a structured rehabilitation pathway for repentant terrorists.<\/p>\n

During their visit, AES representatives are engaging with security officials, policy experts, and local stakeholders to explore potential collaborations in intelligence sharing and coordinated counter-terrorism strategies. Discussions will also cover community engagement, socio-economic reintegration of ex-combatants, and psychological rehabilitation methodologies.<\/p>\n

A key theme of the visit, \u201cSafer, Stronger Together: Sharing Expertise to Combat Terrorism Using Non-Kinetic Strategies,\u201d underscores Nigeria\u2019s commitment to regional security cooperation.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian government is expected to hold a joint press conference with the AES delegation, alongside strategic discussions with think tanks and development partners focused on counter-terrorism policies in Africa.<\/p>\n

Counter-insurgency expert Zagazola Makama described the visit as a significant step in strengthening regional security cooperation, noting that Nigeria\u2019s balanced approach\u2014combining military action with rehabilitation and community engagement\u2014serves as a model for other AES member states.<\/p>\n

The visit is expected to pave the way for broader regional security initiatives, including joint research, security training programs, and coordinated policy responses to terrorism and violent extremism across West Africa and the Sahel region.<\/p>\n
