Iran has announced that it
would assist Nigeria in the fight against the Islamist group, Boko Haram, as
part of its contribution for global peace.
The country’s Deputy Foreign
Affairs Minister, Amir Hossein Abdollohian, made the announcement while
addressing the press on Saturday 31st January 2015, on the sideline of the ongoing 24th Assembly
of the African Union (AU) Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa.
“Boko Haram in Nigeria and
Al-Shabaab in the Horn of Africa are similar with Al-Qaeda and ISIS in parts of
the Middle East using similar methods of operations to cause havoc to the
people of the two regions. Iran is therefore willing to use its experience in
dealing with terror groups to assist in combatting these groups in Africa,“ Mr
Amin said.
