Sectarian Crises, Threat to Unity - Group From Agaju Madugba Civil Rights Congress (CRC) has identified the armed restiveness in the Niger Delta as well as intermittent sectarian violence in the northern states as threat to the unity and sovereignty of Nigeria. Speaking at a one-day seminar yesterday in Kaduna as part of activities marking the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attack in the United States of America, CRC president, Malam Shehu Sani, noted that the incidents are causing panics in global politics. According to him, "in Nigeria, since the advent of democracy in 1999, we have witnessed an upsurge in armed violence on the domestic scene that is unambiguously terrorising in nature. "While some are politically motivated, many of such bloody engagements are also criminally induced. This militancy and resort to arms directly threatens the survival of not only our democracy but also the unity and sovereignty of the country," he observed. In his praper one of the speakers at the ceremony, Malam Abdulkarim Albashir, decried what he described as America's concept and definition of terrorism as well as that country's ambiguous foreign policy. As he put it, "any group which opposes a friendly authority through violence, no matter the genuiness of its case, is a terrorist. Within this group fall PLO and others. "Israel, which has been attacking Arab states since 1948 and occupying parts of same is not of course a terrorist or a rogue state," he added. "Americans have licensed themselves to viciously attack other countries without calling themselves exporters of terrorism. "Thus, all the terrorist attacks on Arab countries by Israel are not terrorist actions as Tel Aviv is entitled to attack them. In the case of the rogue states, a retaliatory attack on Israel is an act of aggression because it is crime to defend themselves against Judo- Anglo-American acts of terrorism."
