Obama sends envoy to Nigeria over Boko Haram growing threat

---

The U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Samantha Power, will be in Nigeria between Thursday and Friday to highlight the growing threat Boko Haram poses to the country.

This is contained in a statement by the Information Unit, U.S. Embassy in Abuja and made available to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja.

It stated that Power had earlier visited Cameroon and Chad between April 16 and 20 to underscore the rising danger the insurgence poses to the Lake Chad Basin region.

“Boko Haram is one of the deadliest terrorist groups in the world.

“ It poses an acute threat to civilians across the Lake Chad Basin, and the group’s increasing lethality and relationship with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant are cause for alarm,” it stated.

It noted with sadness the second anniversary of the kidnapping of the Chibok Girls.

The statement stressed the the need to work with partners in the region to develop a comprehensive counter-Boko Haram effort.

It stated that this included a more coordinated military campaign, improved humanitarian access and response, a well-resourced stabilization and governance strategy.

It stated that Power would engage with the Nigerian leadership and civil society in Abuja before traveling to the northeast to visit a settlement camp for civilians displaced by Boko Haram’s violence.

Power, according to the statement, will host a town-hall meeting with students and participate in a ‘Peace Through Sports’ event with young Nigerians.

That's a welcome development.

Too little too late. Baba has already crushed boko harem.

That "growing threat" is a figment of their own imagination. This people, it seems, don't know the difference between present and past tense. It is just like saying the Tamil Tigers are still a threat to Sri Lanka... . They should carry their bad luck back.

You are right... When we really needed them, they didn't come and now that it seems Nigeria is taking a realistic "so-called" spotlight, they returned some Abacha Funds and now sending support... I smell fish mooney here.

There is nothing good in any good hands from the Americans... If they really wanna help, they should abandon their fake oil exploration and start importing fully from Nigeria.

Your president that bought a fake PhD from Uniport was there for 6 years, yet Boko Haram was writing a battalion of 1000 soldiers to leave the barrack for them. Baba has spent less that one year there and all the people that have left their homes in North East because of Boko Haram have started returning to their homes. Thank God for Baba and Nigerian Army.
