The British government has said there is a limit to what
assistance it can offer Nigeria as Boko Haram renews its
attacks in the North-East.
While acknowledging the complex nature of the insurgency,
the British government, through its Minister of State, Foreign
and Commonwealth Office, Joyce Anelay, stated that her
country was in constant discussion with the Federal
Government.
The minister, who was fielding questions from the House of
Lords on Thursday, however, said the British government
was cautious of what it said about the ongoing insurgency in
Nigeria.
She told the parliament, “Nigeria faces a serious threat from
Boko Haram. We believe that more than 3,000 people have
been killed by Boko Haram this year and more than 1.5
million people have been displaced. We are aware of
reports that Nigerian authorities have agreed to a ceasefire
with Boko Haram and are in ongoing negotiations. We are
also aware of reports of Boko Haram attacks since the
ceasefire announcement. We monitor events closely.
“Boko Haram deliberately targets the weak and vulnerable,
causing suffering in communities of differing faiths and
ethnicities. It has no regard for human life. We are in
continual discussion with the Nigerian authorities to press
exactly as the noble Baroness says, and we give as much
support as we can in intelligence matters.”
During the question-and-answer session, a member of
parliament, Caroline Cox, who had made visits to areas
worst hit by current militants’ insurrection, urged the British
government to put pressure on Nigeria to be more effective
in tackling the insurgency.
“I thank the minister for that sympathetic reply. Is she aware
that I have visited areas afflicted by Boko Haram and found
that the scale of suffering to which she refers massively
exceeds that reported by the media?
“Despite reports of a peace agreement with Boko Haram, to
which the Minister refers, local people do not believe that
the federal and state authorities are sufficiently willing or
able to stop Boko Haram’s reign of terror. Therefore, will
Her Majesty’s government make the strongest possible
representation to the government of Nigeria to do much
more to implement effective policies to protect all its
citizens from this escalating terrorism?” Cox said.
Responding to her questions and those posed by other
members of the parliament, Anelay pointed out that Britain
would give Nigeria the strongest support it could, adding
that a Sentinel and Tornado GR4 aircraft had already been
deployed to assist in the fight against Boko Haram.
She noted, “We are therefore most cautious in what we say
in these matters. What I will say is that it is for the Nigerian
authorities to resolve the matter. We will give the strongest
support we can.”

Fighting Boko Haram is the FG's responsibility.

Stopping Oil theft is the FG's responsibility.

Must the international community always spell out the responsibilities of GEJ to him

He always goes out to say "Other countries should help us tackle our problems" while he sits back and concentrates on clamping down on the opposition.

I think you are Sodom point.

[quote author=Ibnsultan post=27652476][/quote]That says it all.

You have to reduce your level of reasoning to see things from GEJ's point of view.

There is No other option but the military way to degrade n deplete BH

It is high time we realised that our problems are our responsibility to solve. We are in this state today because we've been shifting responsibilities hoping that a 'messiah' will come from somewhere to solve them for us.
