The United States, U.S, government has reiterated
its commitment to providing support for Nigeria in
the fight against Boko Haram and the rescue of the
abducted Chibok schoolgirls. The US Assistant Secretary of state for African
affairs, Linda Thomas-Greenfield and the
commander of US Africa command, USAAFRICOM,
David Rodriguez disclosed this yesterday at a joint
online press conference. The Assistant Secretary noted that Washington will
engage President Muhammadu Buhari on the issue
when the Nigerian president visits White House
later in the month. According to her, “We will have discussions with
him on what we can do to continue to assist
Nigeria and their effort to fight against Boko
Haram. “Part of that discussion will be how we can provide
the equipment and support that Nigerians require.
We will have discussion on what we can do to
continue to assist Nigeria in the fight against Boko
Haram. “Human rights are an important value for the
United States and in any place that we are
providing lethal weapons. We want to know that
the militaries that we are providing those weapons
to do not use that in a way that violates the human
rights of ordinary civilians so we will have that discussion moving forward.” Thomas-Greenfield added that the US government
will also focus on how to prepare Nigerian military
to support communities. She also said that the
rescue of the abducted Chibok girls was high
priority for the US government. “This has been an extremely high priority for the
US government to assist in bringing these girls
home and also hundreds of other girls and young
boys who were forcefully abducted by Boko
Haram. “We will not let up on our efforts; we will continue
to work with the government,” she added and
commended Buhari and his wife for relating with
the families of the abducted Chibok girls and
letting them know they have not been forgotten. Also speaking, Rodriguez said the US has been
sharing intelligence with the Nigerian government
on the Chibok girls and other Boko Haram
captives. He said the command supports peace-
keeping efforts and strengthens the capacity of the
military in Africa through partnership. “We will continue to do that and pursue the effort
of rescuing the girls,” he said. “The United States
government is commitment to assisting African
countries as they build their capacity to counter
terrorism, which AFRICOM is key to providing such
assistance. “We continue to share intelligence with the
Nigerian military in the fight against insurgency,”
he stated.
