Press Release: Nigeria: MEPs call for international cooperation to stop Boko Haram

The massacres perpetrated by the terrorist sect Boko Haram in Nigeria were vehemently condemned by the European Parliament in a vote on 30 April 2015.

The members of the chamber urged the Nigerian authorities to do their utmost to end the violence and tackle the root causes of the terrorism, including corruption. The Parliament also urged Nigeria’s neighbours and the international community to cooperate with efforts to starve Boko Haram of income and prevent it spreading terror abroad.
