Boko Haram: Passionate Appeal To Putin, Cameron



A youth group known as StandupforNigeria Youth Initiative recently sent letters to President Vladimir Putin of Russia and the British Prime Minister David Cameron over the pretence and the blind eyes of the ‘superpowers’ to the sufferings of Nigerians in the hands of the Boko Haram. AGBO-PAUL AUGUSTINE examines the grievances expressed and reports.

Threatened by the growing wave of Boko Haram attacks in northern Nigeria and the refusal of super power, United States of America, to sell lethal weapons to the Nigerian military in recent times, members of StandupforNigeria Youth Initiative, a youth movement based in Abuja, recently appealed to Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Britain’s David Cameron, as well as members of the British Parliament, in a letter, over the escalating attacks by insurgents and the need for the key members of the United Nations Security Council to help Nigeria defeat terrorism.
