"Mr President, for several months now, the news coming from Nigeria has been worrying. The actions of the terrorist group Boko Haram have become more and more violent. Thus, in November 2011, 65 people died in a series of bombings in Damaturu; on Christmas day, 44 people were killed in the attack committed in front of Sainte-Thérèse church of Abuja. The Friday evening bombings in Kano, in the north of the country, which led to the death of at least 185 people, are so far one of the most barbaric acts claimed by Boko Haram.
On the other hand, it is known that Nigeria has been for decades the scene of clashes between Christians and Muslims. However, the aggravation of the security situation is now manifest and I think it can no longer be ignored. The actions of the Boko Haram group are threatening the stability of the whole country and many are wondering whether, at the moment, Nigeria is about to disappear. Therefore, our support is more than ever necessary to establish a climate of tolerance and respect for the freedom of religion in Nigeria.
Finally, I would like to conclude by drawing attention to paragraph 7 of our common resolution: Boko Haram is threatening not only Nigeria, but the entire region, because of potential connections with AQMI. Therefore, we must encourage regional efforts aimed at preventing synergies between Boko Haram and AQMI."@en1
