Israel A Loyal Ally In Fight Against Boko Haram – Omeri

JOnathan and Netanyahu

Coordinator of the National Information Centre, Mike Omeri, Thursday, described Israel as loyal ally in Nigeria’s fight against Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram.

“Israel has been a crucial and loyal ally in our fight against Boko Haram. It is a sad reality that Israel has a great deal of experience confronting terrorism,” Omeri told Israeli news platform Jerusalem Post.

“Our Israeli partners have used that experience, and the unique expertise gained over years of fighting terror within its own borders, to assist us.”

According to him, Israel has been incredibly supportive with the training and the tools required to defeat Boko Haram.

The military onslaught on the insurgents added momentum on Thursday as warplanes bombed training camps and equipment belonging to Boko Haram in the northeast’s Sambisa forest on Thursday, the military said.

Nigerian forces backed by air power killed more than 300 Boko Haram fighters since the start of the week, the military said on Wednesday. The number could, however, not be independently confirmed.

Omeri said Nigeria is simultaneously recapturing numerous territories, defending against new attacks on key areas, and destroying Boko Haram bases.

  1. Omeri is just voicing out the dictates of his paymaster. Omeri should know that Israel is a police state that derived its existence from terrorism and still being sustained on terrorism. Israel usurps Arab lands and sheds Arab blood at will. A sensible human being who has blood in his vein and calls himself a Christian will not refer to the defenceless Arabs as terrorists as Omeri wanted us to believe. What’s more, Omeri’s master, Jonathan, dashed the hope of the oppressed people of the world when he turned against Nigerian foreign policy to abstain from voting for self-determination of the Palestinians just of recent. We actually know that GEJ and his govt. are anti Islam and Muslims and by the special grace of God, nemesis will soon catch up with them!
