EU-Nigeria dialogue to discuss terror attacks

12/02/2016
Lagos - The European Union (EU) has bemoaned the
killing of more people amid incessant terror the Boko
Haram is carrying out in the Northeast.
The latest terror involved two female suicide bombers
striking a local camp hosting some 50 000 people,
killing at least 58.
This came days after the violence perpetrated in north
eastern Nigeria and southern Chad.
“Targeting innocent people, is unacceptable. Camps
have to remain a place of shelter and protection,” said
a EU spokesperson from Brussels, Belgium.
The EU expressed its full solidarity with the Nigerian
government and people in the fight against terrorism in
all its forms.
“This was most recently reaffirmed to President Buhari
when he met with EU leaders earlier this month,” the
spokesperson said.
The official said the fight against terrorism would
again be high on the agenda at the upcoming EU-
Nigeria Ministerial dialogue mid-March.
“The EU remains engaged to support the wider Sahel
and Lake Chad region in their efforts to curb violence
and terrorism.” – CAJ News
