The Digest:

President Emmanuel Macron has called on the international community to deepen support for Nigeria amid escalating insecurity, including recent mass school abductions. Rooted in the storm of regional instability, his appeal follows direct talks with President Bola Tinubu and emphasizes collective responsibility over passive observation.

Key Points
  • Macron spoke with President Tinubu, affirming France’s solidarity against terrorism in the North.
  • He urged all international partners to “step up their engagement” with Nigeria.
  • The call comes amid rising attacks, including November’s abduction of over 200 pupils in Niger State.
  • Many of those kidnapped remain in captivity weeks later.
  • France pledged to strengthen its partnership and support affected communities.
  • Macron stressed “no one can remain a spectator” to Nigeria’s security challenges.
  • The appeal highlights growing international concern over the worsening crisis.
As abductions persist and threats multiply, Macron’s words echo a pressing truth: in the face of shared instability, silence is not an option; only solidarity holds the promise of safety.
