The United States President Barack Obama
said on Tuesday that military force alone
could not defeat the Boko Haram insurgents
and other terrorist organisations around the
world.
Obama’s statement came ahead of
Thursday’s Summit on Countering Violent
Extremism.
According to the US Department of States,
Washington is hosting the summit to
highlight domestic and international efforts
to prevent violent extremists and their
supporters from radicalizing, recruiting or
inspiring individuals or groups in its country
and abroad to commit acts of violence,
“efforts made even more imperative in light
of recent, tragic attacks throughout the
world.”
