Reaction Of Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) To Nigerian President Buhari’s Mis-Directed Criticism Of The Leahy Law On Human Rights


“It is well documented by the State Department and by respected human rights organizations that Nigerian army personnel have, for many years, engaged in a pattern and practice of gross violations of human rights against the Nigerian people and others, including summary executions of prisoners, indiscriminate attacks against civilians, torture, forced disappearances and rape. Rarely have the perpetrators been prosecuted or punished.

“This abusive conduct not only violates the laws of war, it creates fear and loathing among the Nigerian people whose support is necessary to defeat a terrorist group like Boko Haram.

“President Buhari ignores the undisputed fact that most Nigerian army units have been approved, under the Leahy Law, for U.S. training and equipment. Only those particular units against which there is credible evidence of the most heinous crimes are ineligible for U.S. aid. And even those units can again become eligible if the Nigerian Government takes effective steps to bring the responsible individuals to justice.

“I strongly agree with President Buhari about the need to defeat Boko Haram, and I have supported tens of millions of dollars in U.S. aid to Nigeria for that purpose. But rather than suggest that the United States is at fault for not funding murderers and rapists in the Nigerian military, he should face up to his own responsibility to effectively counter Boko Haram. He should direct his attention to the Nigerian military, and the Nigerian courts, and clean up the units implicated in such atrocities.”

Ok

But rather than suggest that the United States is at fault for not funding murderers and rapists in the Nigerian military, he should face up to his own responsibility to effectively counter Boko Haram. He should direct his attention to the Nigerian military, and the Nigerian courts, and clean up the units implicated in such atrocities.”

But PDP told us that the army under Jonathan did not commit atrocities against the civilian population.

Any word yet on the ICC petition against Gen.Ihejirika who supervised all of these crimes as Chief of Army Staff?

Only the Dullard from Daura and his sai chanters would be surprised by the reception they received in DC. After all the photo ops, Nigeria was giving a beat down, by the POWERS in DC, not the third world hustlers following buhari around.

Now this is interesting. That shows that nothing was gained from the US tour. Can we also be worried about the lack of offence against BH since May 29? We have been hearing about gathering intelligence underground and all that. Action? None yet.

The Nigerian army committed zero crime, boko harm supporters like you will never understand the damaged, you people brought to this country.

I thought accursed taniods claimed the north was framing JJonathan and no abuse occurred ? Lehy failed to note Buhari has directed all allegations be investigated, hence he isn't wrong to question why a law that is suppose protect civilians has prevented critical armaments from reaching the Nigerian army who are fighting against a bloody terror group. Lehy is the ultimate hypocrite to pretend not to even know how Egypt has gradually become a rogue state that violate the rights of its citizens habitualy and carries out wholescalr masssacre of the opposition in Egypt yet recieves sophisticated weapons and money from the US.

So I guess a respectable US Senator like Patrick Leahy who is a Catholic and not a Muslim, is also supporting boko haram for stating the obvious about the Nigerian Army?

The same obvious opinion your type hold about the Army when they conduct their operations in the South.

Thanks for bringing this thread up, but I wonder why you don't agree with the American accusations against the army, but you posted it all the same thinking you want to smear Buhari?

You see what blind hatred does?
You end up achieve the agenda of your enemies.

Wireless are you suggesting that the Nigerian military engaged in wanton human rights abuses as claimed by America? Don't you think that by denying our troops the required equipment, america is unwittingly aiding Boko Haram? Why are we not focused on Boko Haram lack of respect for the Geneva Convention and respect for human rights?

Don't mind him.

I've already neutralized his agenda to smear Buhari.

I'm sure he's wishing he didn't post this one. All the negatives of the report points back to Jonathan.

He will look left and right before posting such again.
