The UN Secretary General is committed to fully supporting Nigeria's counter-terrorism efforts
2022-05-05
United Nations Secretary General Guterres said in Abuja, Nigeria, on the 4th that he fully supports the current anti-terrorism efforts of the Nigerian government. The United Nations has called on the international community to increase humanitarian assistance to Nigeria and help rebuild communities affected by terrorist attacks. Guterres and Nepalese President Buhari attended the press conference that day and said that eradicating the threat of terrorism requires not only strong military action, but also corresponding mechanisms to accept and transform repentant extremist armed personnel, so that they can see the hope of reintegration into society, so as to eliminate a major factor breeding terrorism. The United Nations has appealed to the international community to raise an additional US $350 million on the basis of the US $1.1 billion humanitarian assistance plan recently formulated by the United Nations to strengthen humanitarian assistance to communities affected by terrorist attacks in Nigeria. Guterres said that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has exacerbated the problem of global food security and may interfere with the economic recovery process of developing countries, including Nigeria, from the COVID-19. The United Nations will not waver in its humanitarian support for countries facing various challenges, such as Nigeria. Buhari said that terrorism threatens global peace, security and development and requires the joint efforts of the international community. The Nigerian government is orderly promoting the resettlement of displaced persons and the transformation of surrendered extremist armed personnel. Guterres arrived in Nigeria on the 3rd to begin a two-day visit. (Xinhua News Agency)
