The adoption of a non-kinetic approach—relying on dialogue, negotiation, and confidence-building rather than military engagement—highlights the government’s increasing preference for peaceful methods in addressing mass abductions.
The incident, which mirrored similar kidnappings in the region, had generated widespread concern and led the Chief of Army Staff to issue a firm directive for intensified search-and-rescue operations.
The girls’ safe return brings significant relief to their families and the wider community.
