U.S. Pledges More Equipment, Others For Anti-b’haram War by atlwireles: 3:30pm On Mar 16, 2015
FROM the United States (U.S) government has come a pledge of further support for the multinational force combating Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria and the neighbouring countries.

According to the spokesperson for the U.S Department of State, Jen Psaki, the support which will come in the coming weeks, will take the form of equipment provision, advice, intelligence, training and logistics.

Psaki who pledged the support on behalf of the U.S government during interactive session with journalists recently said his home government has been providing general support to the forces to counter activities of the terrorists group and will consider additional support in the coming weeks.

“We are aware of reports that Chadian and Nigerien troops are taking action against Boko Haram in northeastern Nigeria, as are Nigerian forces. We welcome the coordinated efforts by the defence and security forces of the region to protect civilians from Boko Haram.
“We are providing general support for the counter-Boko Haram effort, including equipment, training, and intelligence. We’ll consider additional equipment, training, advisory, and logistics support in the weeks ahead, and that’s something that has been ongoing in terms of our support for the counter-Boko Haram efforts for some time now,” he said.

On the recent declaration of allegiance to the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) by Boko Haram, Psaki, who dismissed the declaration as nothing different from previous ones, however, said that his country would study the validity of the report, and would continue to study the situation closely. “We’re undertaking to assess the validity of these reports. Regardless of what links may or may not exist, Boko Haram remains a tremendous threat to the stability of the region and the safety of civilians. I think it’s important to also note that Boko Haram has previously pledged allegiance to both AQIM and al-Qaida core in the past, but those pledges were assessed to be pledges of solidarity rather than any indication that its leadership plan to take orders from or allow these groups to usurp control”.

“In fact, we observed minimal operational cooperation among the groups in that particular case. So I just thought that was relevant information in terms of what’s happened in the past. Obviously, we’ll look into this, but we’ve also seen similar claims that are more designed for propaganda purposes than operational engagement. But we’ll, of course, assess the validity. We’ll assess what it means. We continue to watch closely, and obviously, we take any of this seriously.

what's your interest U.s

Analysts say Chad and Niger are
not
just being the good neighbours the
Bible speaks of. They are motivated to
help Nigeria out of self-interest —
Chad and Niger depend on Nigerian
ports for their import and export trade. And
the northern areas of
Nigeria where Boko Haram has been
rampaging are next to their borders.

They can go stuff their equipment and support up ybeir azzes. They refused to sell to us and threatened israel from selling to us either. They had hoped that Nigeria will be overwhelmed by BH so that their much touted Nigeria's disintegration will happen. Ashamed at how events have turned they are shamelessly coming back to share if not claim the glory. Shame on them.

In another story, let us be careful so that the Americans do not use the opportunity to further create rancour and acrimony and then destabilize what successes we have achieved. The ediets said our military are cowards. Today those same cowards are conquering BH strongholds. Shame on America.
