Counter-insurgency force: Washington backs UN resolution on Boko Haram regional force

The United States has supported the creation of a West African force of up to 10 000 troops to fight Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram, a US defence official said on Wednesday.



The 54-nation African Union has approved the force and has asked the United Nations to endorse it urgently, after attacks by the group in northeastern Nigeria and neighbouring Chad, Niger and Cameroon as it seeks to carve out an Islamic state.



US Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for African Affairs Amanda J Dory said on a visit to Cameroon that Washington, one of five veto-holding members of the UN Security Council, would back a UN resolution.



“The US is providing diplomatic support in terms of engagement in the UN Security Council for the awaited resolution authorising the deployment of a Multinational Joint Task Force by the African Union against Boko Haram,” she told state radio.

Memory Verse: Psalm 92:1

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High.

Read: Luke 17:11-19

11 And it came to pass, as he went to Jerusalem, that he passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee.

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

14 And when he saw them, he said unto
them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as
they went, they were cleansed.

15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan.

17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine?

18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger.

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.
