The African Diplomatic Group, Friday, condemned the various terror attacks carried out by the Boko Haram sect in parts of the country.
While commiserating with the government of Nigeria, the families of the kidnapped girls and other victims of terrorists’ attacks, the ADG, a group of foreign diplomats from the African continent in Nigeria, also challenged the Federal Government to expedite action for the rescue or release of the abducted Chibok school girls,
The ambassador of Shaharawi Arab Republic to Nigeria and Dean of the Diplomatic Corps, Oubi Bachir stated this on Friday during the Africa and Mandela Day celebrations in Abuja.
Bachir said, “The Africa Diplomatic Group condemns all threats to the progress of Africa, including Boko Haram terror attacks that have taken the lives of hundreds of innocent Nigerians, and families of the victims for loss of their loved ones.
“The group calls for the unconditional release of the over 200 girls, who were kidnapped in chibok, Borno State, on April 14, 2014.
“Africa is committed to garner all the necessary resources to support Nigeria in its quest to combat terrorism.”
According to the envoy, Africa has come a long way since the formation of the Organisation of African Unity in 1963, which later changed to African Union in 2002, adding that the continent, despite its challenges has made tremendous strides in peace and development.
