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. http://www.channelstv.com/2014/10/22/obama-urges-federal-government-to-implement-ceasefire-agreement/ |

When we were in the trenches with them all the US could do was lambast our every move, publish inaccurate information, condemn, curse and block us from buying weapons. Now he wants to tell us about his urges. Obama, I urge you to deal with the ISIS you created. he goat. |

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. |
