Niger struggling to keep Islamist movements from spilling in from its
north and south, wants to start joint military patrols along its border
with Nigeria.
The government said, reports The Jerusalem Post.
The West African state has so far managed to avoid a rebellion that split neighbouring Mali in two, but is now worried about Islamist fighters from Nigeria’s Boko Haram islamic sect to the south.
‘Our cooperation must be reinforced by starting joint patrols along the border, which have been planned but delayed,’ Niger Justice Minister Marou Amadou said on state television late on Saturday after a meeting with Nigerian officials. Plz help the security agencies by reporting any boko-haram suspicious movement in your area.
