Across the world, Amnesty International releases several reports on  various conflict situations that many considered subversive and  squared to de-legitimise state authorities. From Middle East to  several troubled spots, the body acts mostly as agents of anti-state  platforms. That judgement may be harsh.
In reality, the experience of Nigeria in the hands of the organisation  portrays a deliberate attempt at undermining the legitimacy of the  state and strengthening anti-state elements. State institutions are  favourite targets.
Worldwide there is a plot to destory the nation state through multiple  organizations mandated to destory confidence of the citizenry in their  governments. Critical state institutions are targeted for demonisation  and final supplanting by international organization. Hence, the  trend of seeking international interventions in matters best handled  by state authorities. Amnesty International has important role in this  respect.
This is not to say there is no excesses on the side of military  authorities. Those are truly condemnable. But troops operate under  difficult conditions against terrorists who are not bound by Geneva  rules.     Nigerian experience shows that Amnesty has issued about five reports  on the insurgency in Nigeria and it is interesting that all directly  indicted the Nigerian military and state. If one report is not  accusing the state of genocide,another is alleging extra judicial  killings . It was so bad that at a point the organisation becomes  like a defacto spokespersons for the insurgents.
It is also annoying that most of those negative reports always emerged  when our military are making headway against the insurgents . When the  terrorists were dislodged from their hideouts,Amnesty issued a damming  report alleging all sorts of human rights abuses against the military.  At no point does the organisation finds a space to rejoice with  Nigeria on the crushing of the insurgents .
Many are already forming opinions that Amnesty International is  already infiltrated by Islamic state ,Al-Qaeda and Boko Haram. That  conspiracy theory arises from the fact that the organisation is now  openly canvassing for observance of human rights for terrorists while  at the same time downplaying the human rights of many Nigerians killed  unjustly by the insurgents or the fate of many military personnel  killed in several counter insurgency operations. Why is Amnesty always  eager to weaken the morale of a military that has successfully  restored the territorial integrity of the Nigerian nation?     The greatest achievement of the present government from security  perspective is that the insurgents no longer hold and control any  territory. Nigerian military at great cost has restored the dignity of  Nigeria. Our troops have saved us from the humilitation of a rag tag  armed group ridiculing our pride as a nation.
There is the feeling Amnesty International was happy with old  humiliation of Nigeria in the hands of the terrorists . Is the  organisation on the pay roll of the insurgents? Is the organisation  bitter the terrorists are defeated? Or why is the organisation always  so angry with the Nigerian military anytime huge progress is recorded  in the sacred task of keeping Nigeria united while protecting the  territorial integrity of the nation?
It is even more shocking because all entreaties by the military  authorities to open up to the organisation is always followed by more  negative reports. Officials of the organisation have been invited to  the military headquarters several times for briefing and brainstorming  on whatever areas of concern it may have . The military had since  established human rights desk alongside more transparency in military  operations. All these gestures were never reciprocated by the  organisation.     What then is the real mission of Amnesty International as per the  Nigerian state ? Is the organisation working to destroy the Nigerian   military as a shortcut to destroying Nigerian state ? Is the  organisation working with forces hell bent on setting Nigeria ablaze  through skewed and false reporting by equally false experts and  researchers ?
One cannot but agree with our military authorities that Amnesty  International has grown to become a threat to the corporate existence  of the Nigerian nation. Its activities seem designed as a  de-legitimisation project targeted at the heart of Nigerian unity,the  military.
As canvassed in paragraph three above ,there is a global fight to  suplant patriotism with globalism. There is a gradual transfer of  state responsibilities to international bodies. That is why we today  have the struggle between nationalists and globalists. Globalism only  succeeds when the state is delegitimised before her citizens. That is  what Amnesty International is doing and all patriots should fight back  and resisit the drive to “pakistan” or “afgan ” Nigeria.
Nigerian military should learn one or two tricks from the Egyptian  military. No responsible military and security organization should  allow a subversive foreign body to destory its from within or without.  Invoking imperative of national security is a must.
