problems.
He said Africa, and West Africa
in particular, must work at solving it is own problems and that it should be
able to identify its real friends.
“Boko Haram is funded by our
friends from Saudi Arabia and our friends from Qatar. Are we friends or not?
Let’s tell ourselves the truth. We have to stand together,” he said.
“I’m optimistic we are going to
win if we stand together.”
