So, I don’t get it… Nigeria is, or was, doing well and has a significant army that has done little over the years to halt Boko Haram. Years of doing nothing, over growing radicalism and religious based politics in northern Nigeria. Now everyone has to help them. Soooo, how is the leadership in Nigeria going to change?
A multinational force to fight Boko Haram is expected to be formally launched in coming weeks. Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin initially pledged to help Nigeria. This week, Burundi and Central African Republic also agreed to contribute troops to fight the militant group.
Also this week, leaders in Central Africa said that 10 member states had agreed to contribute most of the $100 million needed to combat Boko Haram. They did not state how much had been raised nor how much is remaining despite calling for the creation of an emergency fund to bridge the difference, according to reporters with the Associated Press.
