Obama Writes Sandra Duru, Says Nigerians Deserve Freedom From Violence & Terror by lindalovely: 1:32am On Jun 17, 2016
Following Dr. Sandra Duru’s inability to attend The United State Of Women Summit held at The White House in Washington DC on the 14th June 2016, due to the birth of her son Dikesinachi, she wrote to the POTUS expressing her regrets for not being able to attend the epoch making event.

The POTUS Mr. Barack Obama wrote back to Sandra Duru expressing his Administration’s willingness to work with Agencies and Organisations across the world to ensure that no child or woman lived in fear and that Nigerians deserve to be free from violence and terror.

Despite Dr Duru’s condition, she was still able to adequately rep Nigeria and Africa as a whole positively.

Read his message to Dr Sandra Duru below:

Subject: Response to Your Message

Thank you for writing. Like people everywhere, Nigerians deserve to be free from violence and terror. The United States will not forget the people of Nigeria during this difficult time.

As the Nigerian government works to root out the terrorist group Boko Haram and other associated groups, we will keep providing assistance to help develop a comprehensive approach to handling the threats they pose. And we will continue aiding Nigeria as it dismantles these networks of terror and takes meaningful, effective actions to create a future safe from the horrors we see today. Combating terrorism means protecting civilians and ensuring respect for human rights—not only in Nigeria, but also around the world.

Along with millions of people across the globe, Michelle and I remain outraged and heartbroken over the kidnapping of hundreds of Nigerian women and girls by Boko Haram, including the more than 200 Chibok girls abducted from their school. No child should be forced to live in fear for getting an education and pursuing her dreams. At my direction, and in coordination with our international partners, our Government continues to support Nigerian‑led efforts to help find those kidnapped by Boko Haram, bring them home to their families, and get them the services they need. Sadly, this was not an isolated act of terror, and we stand with the Nigerian people in their ongoing struggle against violent extremism.

The United States is committed to doing its part to help prevent mass atrocities, protect human rights, and promote opportunity for all. We do so in partnership with other governments, the United Nations, and with religious institutions, unions, and civil society organizations both at home and abroad. We will keep working to resolve the root causes of conflict, build lasting institutions, and train the peacekeepers, police, and soldiers who protect those in danger.

More broadly, promoting peace and prosperity means securing equal rights and opportunity for women and girls. When women succeed, nations are safer, more secure, and more prosperous. We will keep empowering women and girls everywhere to pursue the education that is their birthright, and to participate fully in their societies.

Thank you, again, for your message.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama
