Nigeria Military Sources told Scott Morgan, a journalist based in Washington, D.C, that United States Troops are headed to Nigeria in order to help Nigeria Military forces fight Boko Haram.
United States Officials refused to confirm deployment of American forces to Nigeria.
French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Alain Juppe, during his visit to Abuja, Nigeria, indicated France is willing to help Nigeria fight Boko Haram; France is willing to share information with Nigeria, Coordinate intelligence with Nigeria, and train Nigeria Security agents in the battle against terrorism.
Mr. Juppe stated, “France is directly concerned with the question of terrorism we receive often. It goes against our interest in the region and so we are in complete solidarity with the countries of the region around the sub Sahara and around the Sahel and how to cooperate with countries which are fighting against this phenomenon. We are ready to share our information. We are ready to coordinate our intelligence services. We are ready to give our help in training operation.
I will like again to express our complete determination to fight with the countries of the region especially Nigeria and also in the ECOWAS borders to decrease these threats against the populations and the countries.
Nigeria is France’s number one partner in the Sub-Sahara. Nigeria is a member of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and it is also a member of the African Union Peace and Security Council. Our two countries have believed in responsibilities regarding peace and security in Africa and the World.” What are you thinking?
