The destruction of civilian properties in the South East by Nigerian soldiers is a complex issue with a long history. There are many different perspectives on the conflict, and it is important to consider all of them before forming an opinion.

Some people believe that the destruction of civilian properties is a necessary evil in the fight against terrorism. They argue that the Nigerian military is doing its best to protect civilians, but that sometimes it is necessary to take drastic measures in order to defeat the enemy. Others believe that the destruction of civilian properties is a war crime and that the Nigerian military should be held accountable for its actions. They argue that the military is targeting civilians indiscriminately and that its actions are causing more harm than good.

It is important to note that there is no easy answer to this question. The destruction of civilian properties is a serious issue with no easy solutions. It is important to consider all of the different perspectives on the conflict before forming an opinion.

According to a 2019 report by Amnesty International, the Nigerian military has been responsible for the destruction of hundreds of homes and businesses in the South East. The report also found that the military has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of civilians. The Nigerian government has denied these allegations, but there is evidence to suggest that they are true.

The destruction of civilian properties is a violation of international law. The Geneva Conventions, which are a set of treaties that protect the rights of civilians during war, prohibit the targeting of civilians and civilian property. The destruction of civilian properties is also a war crime. The International Criminal Court (ICC) has jurisdiction over war crimes, and it could investigate and prosecute Nigerian soldiers for the destruction of civilian properties.

The destruction of civilian properties has a devastating impact on the lives of those affected. It leaves people homeless, jobless, and traumatized. It also destroys communities and makes it difficult for people to rebuild their lives.

The Nigerian government needs to take steps to stop the destruction of civilian properties. It needs to investigate allegations of war crimes and hold those responsible accountable. It also needs to provide assistance to the victims of the conflict.

The international community also needs to take action. It can put pressure on the Nigerian government to stop the destruction of civilian properties. It can also provide assistance to the victims of the conflict.
