Benin’ s president has vowed to contribute 800 troops
to a regional force intended to combat the Nigeria-
based Islamic extremist group Boko Haram.
Thomas Boni Yayi made the announcement Saturday
during a visit from Nigeria President Muhammadu
Buhari that coincided with Benin’ s independence
anniversary.

“ This is an opportunity for Benin to express solidary
with countries on the front line against the Islamic
sect , Boko Haram. This solidary will result in the
sending of a contingent of 800 men from Benin’ s
army , ” Boni Yayi said.

Deployment of the regional force has been delayed
for lack of funds . At a meeting in Cameroon in
February, Nigeria and a group of neighboring
countries that also includes Chad , Cameroon and
Niger agreed to deploy around 8, 700 troops, with
Benin pledging 250.

The six -year - old uprising has killed 20 , 000 people and
driven nearly 20 million from their homes.

Multinational troops earlier this year forced the
extremists out of towns they had held, but Nigerian
politicians now say Boko Haram is again seizing
territory.

The uprising has taken on a regional dimension this
year with regular attacks in Niger, Cameroon and
Chad. Boko Haram became an affiliate of the Islamic
State group earlier this year.

Last week Buhari also visited Cameroon in a bid to
bolster support for the regional force . The trip came
eight weeks after he visited Niger and Chad.

Meanwhile do u want to know how u can enlarge your joystick and stop premature ejac?? Check my profile/signature

Buhari now needs our neighbours to help him defeat boko haram, something he vehemently opposed in the past.

2015 "Most Confused President Award" would surely go to the Daura President.

Ok

Good one

Buhari mobilizing support and forces

The end of Boko Haram is near

God pls save our dear country from menace of bokoboys!

God bless benin.their troops are needed in this war and as much more troop as we can get....I hope their services wunt be rejected!

Is it just me, or is this country becoming 'the dwarf of Africa'? Are we supposed to receive military support from a nation the size of lagos despite having the 2nd largest land soldiers in d world? Dis is a case of a child pledging combat support to an adult. Unless we're no longer capable as we used to be.

Good move!

na so

its only God that can crush these boko boys

Alskn

please don't get anyone alive, slaughter all of them. don't include the innocent ones

Ok
I hope they are not using their hands to buy another man wahala.
Nigeria cannot afford to have another insurgency on our western flank.

boko are ram - i still wonder why Muslim clerics are not coming out to publicly denounce them, because if anyone uses the name of Allah in vain they or for any bad thing, muslims will want to kill the person and now some people are using Allahs name in killing innocent people and nobody is saying anything about it, does that mean some of them codedly supports this guys or they are just scared for their lives?

because if nobody is talking about it it makes the youths that are joining them feel they are doing the right thing

That's like the entire country. Who go come remain? Only the president?

Ok

Benin na republic now?

So what are they waiting for...let the Anti - Boko Haram war begin

How many soldiers do they have? I really think that they should keep their soldiers and safe guard their country.

what a great movement by a enviable president. May d lord bless d mission to yield a successful outcome.

Benin na republic now?
