U.S. Condemns Jos, Zaria Bomb Attacks This Week by londonrivals: 5:28pm On Jul 09, 2015 |
The United States on Thursday condemned the recent bomb attacks that have taken hundreds of lives in churches, mosques and a local government office. Speaking at a press conference, the United States deputy secretary of state, Anthony Blinken, said defeating Boko Haram requires a comprehensive approach that involves the region and includes, not only a strong military response, but also sustainable security for liberated areas, good governance, development, and opportunity for the civilian population. He explained that it requires a strong commitment to human rights, the absence of which only alienates the people and drives them toward Boko Haram. “As Nigeria develops this comprehensive approach, the United States will deepen our support,” he said. Mr. Blinken said his presence here in Nigeria is to help prepare for President Muhammadu Buhari’s visit to Washington on July 20. “We look forward to welcoming President Buhari to Washington in just a week and we will continue to deepen a relationship that reflects the enduring commitment of the United States to Nigeria and its people,” he said. He added that his presence also reflects the commitment of President Obama and the United States to strengthening the partnership between the United States and Nigeria and to advance a more secure, prosperous, and peaceful future for all of Nigeria’s citizens. “The partnership we are forging is based on mutual interests and mutual respect,” he said. He explained that the relationship is defined not by what the United States can do for Nigeria, but rather what the United States can do with Nigeria. “We are proud to stand alongside the new government as it works to turn the promise of this moment into real progress for all the citizens of Nigeria,” he said. Mr. Blinken said as the government makes transparency and anti-corruption a priority, there is a vital and unique role for citizens and civil society to play. http://www.metronaija.com/2015/07/us-condemns-jos-zaria-bomb-attacks-this.html cc: lalasticlala |
