The White House said on Thursday that it would send up
to $45 million in defence services, including military
training, to support African countries in their fight against
the militant Islamist group Boko Haram.
Benin, Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria will receive
support that builds on the training and military equipment
the United States has already supplied in the fight against
the group, White House National Security Council
spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.
“The United States stands with our partners in the region
who are fighting to end Boko Haram‘s campaign of
terror,” the statement said.
“Defeating Boko Haram will require a holistic campaign
that protects human rights, pairs progress on
development and governance with security measures,
and fills in behind military successes with civilian
stabilisation efforts,” Price added.
Boko Haram, which means “Western education is sinful”,
has been fighting to carve out an Islamic state in
northern Nigeria since 2009.
The group was previously associated with al Qaeda
before shifting its allegiance to the Islamic State group in
March 2015.
The insurgency has killed more than 10,000 people,
according to the White House statement, and displaced
2.1 million others.
The group has stepped up attacks in northern Nigeria
since President Muhammadu Buhari, who campaigned for
the presidency on the promise to defeat Boko Haram,
took office on May

I hope together we can bring an end to this menace called Boko Haram.

Let them start spending asap. There is no time to waste

Is that not too much money, when you consider that Buhari said we are winning the war and Burutai also says Boko Haram have been considerably weakened?

Don't send us money, send military assistance Men and weapons, Money go disappear as usual

Pls don't tell me Buhari will change that

Fast!
