Weapons Looted in Libya Found With Extremist Groups in Nigeria - UN

The United Nations has revealed that weapons looted during Libya's 2011 conflict have made their way into extremist groups in Nigeria, exacerbating violence across the country.

Security analyst Gideon Para-Mallam joins us to discuss the long-term threat of illicit arms, cross-border proliferation, and Nigeria’s preparedness against emerging weapons technologies, including 3D-printed firearms and sophisticated trafficking networks.
