Koffi Annan Advises Nigeria On How To End Boko Haram

As the Nigerian military continues to wage war against the Islamist militants group, Boko Haram, in northern Nigeria, former United Nations Secretary General, Kofi Annan, has advised the Federal Government on what to do to end the sect’s insurgency.
Annan, who is in Nigeria to support next month’s general election in the country, while speaking on BBC World Service Radio stated that what the Nigerian military needs to do is to “talk to Boko Haram, as well as maintaining military pressure”.

According to Annan, the Nigerian government should not only use force against the insurgents but should also try to reach out to the terrorists to find out those sponsoring the Islamist group.
In his words: “In this kind of situation, you don’t have one policy you have to reach out to the terrorists to find out those behind them and that doesn’t mean the military should stop the use of force.”
