Nigeria: Terrorism and the Collective Will

27 January 2015

THE scenerio this Sunday 11th January 2015 was quite amazing, over a million people, from different parts of the world and from diverse religious and political shades, gathered in Paris, to show solidarity on the fight against terrorism. They were defiant and called the bluff of the terrorists ISIS and al-queda. If the intention of the killings of the Charlie Hebdo and other Paris attacks was to cower journalists into retreat and subdue the voices of free speeches and expressions, they failed in this instance.

The record crowd was by far bigger than those who gathered against the Nazis in the past. From reactions so far, it is clear that the terrorists' actions have back fired, good will always prevail over evil and the inalienable right of man to express his own free will shall never be truncated, not by any force from hell.
