President of the United States, Barack Obama,
and British Prime Minister, David Cameron, have
collectively vowed to defeat Boko Haram and
other terrorist organisations killing innocent
people across the world.
The pair said in an article published on the United
Kingdom Government website on Thursday,
January 15, that the distorted ideologies of
barbaric killers would be wiped out.
“Whether we are facing lone fanatics or terrorist
organisations such as al-Qaeda, Islamic State
(ISIL) or Boko Haram, we will not be cowed by
the extremists.”
“We will defeat these barbaric killers who try to
justify the murder of innocents, whether children
attending school in Peshawar, or girls forced to
become suicide bombers in northern Nigeria.”
“When the freedoms that we treasure came under
a brutal attack in Paris, the world responded with
one voice. Along with our French allies, we have
made it clear to those who think they can muzzle
freedom of speech and expression with violence
that our voices will only grow louder.”
The world leaders stated that majority of the one
billion Muslims in theworld, are “sickened by the
evil these terrorists claim to perpetrate in the
name of Islam.”
Obama and Cameron promised that their
countries would continue to work closely with all
those who believe in peace and tolerance, saying:
“in modern times, our special relationship as allies
and partners has been the firm foundation of our
shared security and prosperity.”
“Together we defeated the Nazis and hunted
down the core al-Qaeda
leadership. Our scientists collaborate to transform
our world, from
discovering the double helix blueprint of life to
creating the technologies that power our digital
age. Our businesses, investors and entrepreneurs
fuel the largest foreign direct investment
relationship between any two countries in the
world,” their statement said.
