UN Backs Nigeria’s War against Terrorism
The United Nations (UN) has said it support with Nigeria in its legitimate fight against Boko Haram terrorists.
The Former ECOWAS Chairman and Special Representative of UNSG for Nigeria and West Africa, Mr. Ibn Chambers, said Nigeria would also get the support of the UN’s department of peacekeeping to assist with operations and planning, among other activities, as well as ensure that there is a truly joint operational force with a clear command and control and unity of purpose among the different countries contributing troops.
He also said “the secretary general expresses strong support in the fight against Boko Haram. Boko Haram is not a threat only to Nigeria or the region, but indeed is an international issue, and requires full international support in Nigeria’s fight against Boko Haram the same way the fight is taken against Al-Shabaab, ISIS and AQIM in North Mali”.
He commended Nigerians for the maturity demonstrated following the postponement of the general election to March 28 and April 11.
