Nigeria Air Strike: America has carried out a massive air strike on ISIS terrorist bases in the north-western regions of Nigeria. The Nigerian government has issued its official statement regarding this attack.

The government said that it is continuously conducting security and intelligence cooperation with other international partners including the US to combat terrorism and violent extremism. Under this cooperation, terrorist targets in North West Nigeria were precisely targeted through air strikes.

Foreign Ministry issued statement

The Foreign Ministry said that this cooperation is taking place under international rules and bilateral agreements. This includes exchange of intelligence, strategic coordination and other necessary support. All these activities are being carried out in accordance with international law, respect for sovereignty and shared commitments to regional and global security.

The Government of Nigeria reiterated that the main objective of all counter-terrorism efforts is to protect civilians, protect national unity and protect the rights and dignity of all citizens. Terrorist violence against any community, regardless of one’s faith or ethnicity, is an affront to Nigerian values ​​and international peace.

Efforts to weaken terrorist networks

The Federal Government, along with its partners, is making sustained efforts to disrupt terrorist networks, disrupt their financing and logistics, and counter threats emanating from across the border. At the same time, Nigeria is strengthening its security institutions and intelligence capabilities. The Ministry of External Affairs said that this security and intelligence cooperation will continue and the public will be regularly informed through appropriate official channels.

It is noteworthy that Nigeria has been facing terrorist violence for a long time. The activities of groups linked to ISIS and organizations like Boko Haram continue in the northern and north-eastern parts of the country.

The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has warned Pakistan that it has been removed from the gray list in October 2022, it does not mean that now terrorists have got freedom for funding and money laundering. FATF clearly said that continuous monitoring against terrorists will continue.

New way of funding through digital wallet

Recently, Pakistan’s terrorist organization Jaish-e-Mohammed has started collecting funds through e-wallets. According to the information, digital wallets like Easypaisa and Sadapay are being used to deposit money in the accounts of Masood Azhar and his family.

According to FATF, terrorists now take support from their family members. They create accounts in the name of women so that not much money is deposited in a single account and the large amount can be gradually collected and used to build new camps for terrorists.

Pretense of religious and educational institutions

FATF warned that terrorist organizations are often collecting funds by posing as religious or educational institutions. Its purpose is to enable them to continue their activities without being monitored.

What did the President of FATF say?

FATF President Elisa de Anda Madrazo said that earlier also there had been many reports that terrorists were using e-wallets. He said, “Even after removing Pakistan from the gray list, its activities are being monitored. Pakistan is not a direct member of FATF, but is a member of the Asia-Pacific Group, hence follow-up is done through it.”

He also clarified that if a country is removed from the gray list, it does not mean that that country gets protection for criminal activities. The job of FATF is to keep an eye on the funding network of terrorists across the world.

India had attacked many targets in Operation Sindoor.

India had recently destroyed Jaish-e-Mohammed hideouts during Operation Sindoor. After this, the terrorists took the help of e-wallet to collect money by avoiding FATF monitoring.

Operation Sindoor: The successful military action taken under the ‘Operation Sindoor’ of the Indian Army filled the entire country with pride. On the night of 6-7 May, India gave a decisive response to the terrorist attack in Pahalgam on 22 April, targeting nine terrorist bases in Pakistan and POK. On this historical success, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh tried to explain India’s policy in a religious manner by giving an example of “Jinh Mohi Mara, Te Mare” from Sundarkand of Ramcharitmanas.

Rajnath Singh described India’s military thinking as Hanuman ji’s policy. He said that we killed only those who killed our innocents. This shows that India does not want any war, but adopts a zero tolerance policy towards terrorists. India’s army did not touch any Pakistani citizen or military establishment. He only targeted the terrorist bases of Jaish, Lashkar and Hizbul.

What is the real meaning of the chaupai of Sundarkand
“Jin Mohi Mara, Te Main Mara.
Mohi na kachu tied Kinh chahun nij prabhu kar kaja॥ “

This chaupai is done when Hanuman ji is present in Ravana’s court. He is asked why he killed Ravana’s son Akshay Kumar and many demons. Hanuman ji answers this with truth and policy. He says I only killed him, who attacked me. I did not touch any innocent.

Operation vermilion and a combination of Indian philosophy
The policy of Lord Hanuman can become diplomatic ideal for any nation, when karma is for religion, then it is a policy to answer with responsibility. Operation Sindoor was not just a military campaign. It was the message of India that now we will not sit silent. We will answer, but with justice.
