To counter these threats the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) have been deploying both kinetic and non-kinetic measures to curb the insecurity, but despite their efforts and successes insecurity continues to undermine peace development in the country. This paper, based on desk research and a field survey, analyses the challenges faced by the AFN, which include inadequate weaponry and equipment, human rights concerns, post-traumatic stress disorder, and poor interagency synergy, among other things. To this end, the paper provides some insights into what could be done to obviate these challengesPrispevek analizira dolgotrajne operacije nigerijskih oboroženih sil proti terorističnim in uporniškim skupinam, kot sta Boko Haram in Zahodnoafriška provinca Islamskedržave. Nigerijske oborožene (AFN) sile so v boju proti tem grožnjam uporabljaletako kinetične kot nekinetične ukrepe, vendar kljub njihovim prizadevanjem in uspehom negotovost še naprej ogroža vzpostavitev miru v državi. V tem prispevku, ki temelji na pregledu dokumentov in terenski raziskavi, so analizirani izzivi, s katerimi se spoprijemajo AFN, med drugim neustrezno orožje in oprema, vprašanja človekovih pravic, posttravmatske stresne motnje in slaba sinergija med agencijami. Za reševanje nastale situacije je v članku predstavljenih nekaj predlogov, kako bi se tem izzivom lahko izogniliTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaMinistrstvo za obrambo RS
