The United States strongly condemns the killing of dozens of civilians on Tuesday in the village of Demba and the August 10 attack on worshipers at a mosque in Maiduguri perpetrated by violent extremists, reportedly affiliated with Boko Haram. We extend our deepest sympathies to the families of those killed and concern for those wounded. The United States stands with the people of Nigeria to reject the indiscriminate attacks on worshippers of all faiths. We also deplore the extra-judicial executions of suspected Boko Haram members by any group, including vigilante mobs.

Such violence has no place anywhere. We continue to support the aspirations of the people of Nigeria who desire stability, security, and peace. We support the government of Nigeria as it seeks to safeguard civilians and hold accountable all those responsible for violence through a process that protects civilians and respects the rule of law.

So what should happen to the Boko Haram members if they deplore the action by the civilian JTf

Christembassy gonna convert all bokoharam memebers to Christian so Τђåt they see the light soon amen.

US,what is your contribution to eliminate BOKO HARAM,is always talk without actions?

shebi them don yan finish, wats the next move (NOTHING) Boko haram are still killing

Naija z giving me headache.US and bystanding!!!!!

This is nonsense!
The US has no business making these kinds of comments when it has it's hands dirty in virtually every resource rich country in the world.They should go and deal with their issues in Syria and ask thier rebels to stop using nerve gas on humans before speaking of Nigeria.

What kind of press release is this. If you read between the lines, you will discover that they are more concerned about the civilian JTF than about Boko Haram. Condemning the killings by Boko Haram is alright if you release press statements everytime there is a bomb blast and not only when you feel there is extra judicial execution by either the military or civilian JTF.

I am never in support of extra judicial killings because many innocent people would be falsely accused and two because life is precious and any act that seeks to negate that principle always comes back to hunt society.
Now that notwithstanding, the Boko Haram sect deserves nothing less than to hasten up and go to paradise to receive their reward in the deepest place of hell where 72 demon virgins would be waiting with hot iron rods to defile their shithole. They don't deserve to reside on planet earth.

These Americans should back off except they want to support with technology and resources. We don't need all these kinds of press statements that tacitly seek to equate the actions of the military with that of the insurgents. Boko Harm has been greatly decapitated largely on the back of the Civilian JTF, not because of the killings of Boko Harm members but because the minds of the youths have been turned against the Boko Haram. Terrorism is an ideological war and if you can win the minds of the locals, you've won the battle. That is something the Americans have failed to do in their 13 years of war on terror.

May God help us. it God intervention we need not u.s

Only?

Wetin dis one mean sef.. US shld stop ranting and send intelligence troops to maiduguri now!

So whatchu gwan do barrack obama?

@Post

Imagine the USA Governments saying this.

What about their drone strikes that kills lots of innocent children in the name of targetting terrorist?. The US must have a hand in boko haram to make sure that power returns to a northerner so that Nigeria will keep living in the stone age. Nonsense

Pipsland78: Boko Haram has been cursed by the pastor of Winners Chapel; BH is finished.

Why didnt he curse those funding them instead?
