"Mr President, recent news on Nigeria recount, almost exclusively, violent incidents. This is a disturbing fact, all the more that we are witnessing the rise of religious extremism, which fuels a very significant number of attacks. The question is what can be done now to prevent this situation from worsening. Consequences would be disastrous in a country with over 170 million inhabitants, 250 ethnic groups and population percentages of 50% Muslims and 40% Christians. Tensions between different communities overlap with a very difficult economic environment: eighty-five per cent of the population lives on less than two dollars a day, although Nigeria has important oil reserves.
I would have liked the High Representative, had she been here, to present proposals for a more active EU contribution to promoting a peaceful and stable environment in Nigeria."@en1
