Those final statements on the Twitter thread stuck out for me too - they seemed a little incongruous. But they're taken (as is the entire thread) from the BBC Africa video, where they actually make perfect sense as the closing remarks.

I'm not sure whether it's the medium (Twitter), or the lack of editing that makes them jar in the thread.
- mcguire 8y agoI watched the video; they seem to have the same sense there as they do on Twitter. I don't actually think the BBC is suggesting the soldiers should be executed out of hand, but I think it weakens the story---I don't need the interpretation, thanks.
