Obama Urges Nigerian Government And Boko Haram To Implement Ceasefire Agreement by ifeanyija(m): 9:12pm On Oct 22, 2014
US President, Barack Obama, has asked the Nigerian government
and the Boko haram sect to implement the ceasefire agreement reached on October
17.

The Nigerian government on
Friday, announced that it had reached a deal with Boko Haram to ceasefire and also release the
over 200 abducted Chibok schoolgirls, but attacks on towns
in Borno State had continued after the ceasefire agreement,
with the military killing at least 30 insurgents on Sunday.

President Obama, who spoke
through the deputy
spokesperson of the State Department, Ms Marie Harf, at a press briefing in Washington, DC,
said his administration would
welcome an end to hostilities in Nigeria.

In the statement read by Ms Harf,
President Obama said: “We confirm reports that a ceasefire has been announced and it
appears to have been put into place. We would welcome that
ceasefire and call on all parties both to implement and maintain such a ceasefire, and hope that such a ceasefire would herald the return of peace to the northeast. This is a region that has had far too little of that”.

However, the ceasefire
agreement between the Federal
Government and Boko Haram
sect, has been trailed with a lot of controversies and doubts.

Barely 24 hours after the
announcement, Boko Haram terrorists allegedly carried out
series of deadly attacks on a
number of Nigerian villages in Borno State .

Two days later, no fewer than 30
members of the sect, were reportedly killed in a fierce battle with soldiers in Damboa town of
Borno State.

After attacks continued despite
the ceasefire agreement, the
Borno Elders Forum expressed doubts that the ceasefire deal was reached with genuine Boko
Haram leaders.

What does the USA wants in Nigeria? They ve refused buying our oil, placed arms embargo on Nigeria, printed mockery T-shirts depicting Nigeria as an ebola infested country. Refused our pleas to be aided with their Godforsaken Zmapp vaccine. They are simply not wishing us well, they dont care about us.
