lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Islamist terrorist organisation, Boko Haram, has an iron hold over Northern Nigeria. This is a depressing situation, one in which Christians would rather take their own steps to protect their churches and religious communities than rely on the police or the army. This is what I heard from a local observer this very morning. The unbridled violence of Boko Haram and its Islamist followers is causing a huge amount of tension within the large Christian minority in Northern Nigeria. For Biblical reasons, the older generation wants to restrain young people from taking reprisals against their fellow Muslim citizens, many of whom have also become victims of Boko Haram, and, more than anything else, wants to exercise conciliationism. This is a powerful spiritual struggle which deserves impartial government support. That brings me to the core problem which has been mentioned in the resolution, too. To what extent has Boko Haram infiltrated the Nigerian state apparatus? I have two questions on this that I would like to put to the High Representative or her substitute. I will give them to the Commissioner now and I hope I will be able to put them to Baroness Ashton next week when she visits the meeting of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. What views does Baroness Ashton or the Council have on this? To what extent has high-level infiltration taken place in Nigeria? My second question, which is based on reports, is: to what extent is Boko Haram operating closer to Europe: for example, in large Nigerian communities in the United Kingdom? The answers to these questions could be extremely important for many things, including deciding what position Europe should take."@en1
