French Army Official has revealed that they have sent out 10 military personnel to help out in the fight against Boko Haram.
These men are to be positioned in Diffa at the request of Niger, its former colony.
French Army Official said: “The detachment is there to coordinate the armies on the ground in the fight against Boko Haram”.
The African Union (AU) had earlier introduced about 7,500 troops from Nigeria, Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin to fight the militants.
Nigerian government official said that today, the Niger parliament will vote if they should send troops to battle the insurgent.
President Francois Hollande revealed that Paris will also help out in logistics and operational support, these include giving fuel and munitions to countries fighting Boko Haram.
“This is a message to the international community and the biggest countries. Do your work and stop giving lessons and take action!” he said.
“In Africa, we have to help the Africans a lot more to fight terrorism, because if we do not, then other countries will be destabilised,” he added.
Chadian forces had last week recorded a significant victory over the terrorist who attempted to invade the country.
