PARIS (AP) — A French official says Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan has agreed to attend a security summit on Saturday in Paris to focus on the Boko Haram terrorist network, which abducted more than 300 schoolgirls in Nigeria last month.
France is still awaiting confirmation from leaders of the four countries bordering Nigeria: Benin, Cameroon, Chad and Niger. Representatives of Britain, the EU and the United States will also be invited.
The official spoke Monday on condition of anonymity because details on the summit have not been finalized. French President Francois Hollande proposed the meeting.
The failure to rescue more than 200 girls who remain captive has attracted international outrage. Experts from the United States, France, Britain, China, Israel and Spain are expected in Nigeria to help the authorities.
Has FOX “We Distort; You Abide” News and it’s panel of ghoulish and depraved pundits called this nothing but an “exercise in self esteem” yet?
Bet George Will and Brett Hume really got a knee slapping laugh out of the pictures sent by the leaders of Boko Haram of some of the 200+ kidnapped girls, many of whom have already been sold into slavery. And after laughing, I’m sure they began, in throes of compassion and heartfelt concern, a session of weeping and wailing about the four deaths at Benghazi…because, uhhhhhhhh…BENGHAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
BTW: 60 deaths at consulates and embassies under GWBush and 0 Republicans said a damned word… and FOX Spews {{{{ Outrage! }}}} was ZERO!
The FOX & Bagger Echo Chambers and their odious Rightie shills play Benghazi as the greatest international blunder of all time…all time we say!!! But they don’t give a damn about these 200 young African women because they don’t see any political gain for Republicans…yet!
Nigeria needs to arm as many soldiers as possible, root every single Boko Haram terrorist out, and put a bullet in them. Counter-terrorist psych warfare goodies like dipping the bullets in pigs blood (or threatening to) are optional.
These lunatics are beyond salvation and have moved into ‘rabid dog’ territory. It’s time for people to fight fire with fire.
Shoot every single one of them
This can’t turn out well for Boko Haram.
This can’t be seen as window dressing. Too much is at stake here. The immediate future for these young girls/women, and the future of the continent. Africa, take a look at the middle east and see what terrorism has done. This doesn’t have to be. Bullies count on their victims to be weak and cave in.
