The United States vowed Sunday to support Nigeria
after a series of deadly terror attacks blamed on Boko
Haram, calling for those responsible to face justice.
The Islamists have launched a series of attacks on
mosques, villages and markets in Borno state in the past
few days, claiming more than 200 lives.

On Sunday a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a
church in the restive northeastern city of Potiskum,
killing five worshippers.

“The United States strongly condemns the recent attacks
in northeastern Nigeria inflicted by Boko Haram,” State
Department spokesman John Kirby said in a statement.
“We will continue to support Nigeria’s efforts to bring
those responsible for these attacks, as well as previous
attacks, to justice,” he added in offering condolences to
the families of the victims.

Boko Haram appear keen to prove they are not a spent
force despite a four-nation military offensive running
them out of several towns and villages they had
controlled.

“As we have said before, the people of northern Nigeria
deserve to live free from violence and from terror,”
Kirby said.

He noted that Washington is providing counterterrorism
aid to help Nigerian authorities fight the terror group.
And Kirby commended the “gains” of Nigeria’s military,
as well as forces from Cameroon, Chad and Niger,
against Boko Haram.

A coalition of the four countries — all of which border
Lake Chad, a focal point of Boko Haram unrest —
launched military operations against the jihadists early
this year to try claw back some of the territory they had
seized.

“The United States stands with the Nigerian people in
their struggle against violent extremism,” Kirby said.
“We will continue to work closely with the Nigerian
government and our international partners to combat
Boko Haram and assist its many victims.

I hope they dont have an ulterior motive behind them helping us.
I really dont understand why they refused to help us during GEJ's tenure and now want to help in PMB's tenure.
I pray they dont seek to enact the gay shit here.

Hehehehe... News! Better it not be Movies! Just saying.
