New York, US (PANA) – UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has welcomed the decision of the African Union (AU) to join forces to stop the advancement of the “murderous campaigns” waged by Boko Haram, stressing the importance of the continent’s collaboration with the UN in preventive diplomacy and peacekeeping.
Ban Ki-moon who was in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for the AU Summit, pledged to join forces to fight the Nigerian terror group, which has in recent weeks attacked villages in Cameroon, displacing thousands to neighbouring countries and sparking fears that its insurgency was expanding beyond Nigeria.
