Obama orders 300 troops to Cameroon to support fight against Boko Haram

President Obama on Wednesday, October 14, said he had ordered 300 troops to Cameroon to work with West African soldiers seeking to counter the Nigerian extremist group Boko Haram. In a letter to Congress, Obama said that the troops would provide “intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance” in the region.

White House press secretary, Josh Earnest, said that the troops would be armed for their protection but that they would not engage in combat.

President Obama said that an advance force of about 90 military personnel had begun deploying to Cameroon, which borders Nigeria, on Monday, October 12. Administration officials said that unarmed Predator drones would be sent with the troops, who will aid a multinational task force composed of soldiers from Cameroon, Chad, Benin, Niger and Nigeria.

      If one looks at US performances in iraq,lybia,afganistan and somalia then there's nothing to celebrate about america entering this war.l will rather see them messing up things.

    Thought he says within three days in office he will crush boko haram
    Y is he running helter-skelter seeking n buying help now? Is it not the same thing he n his apc agent almost kill Jonathan for? Some people should better pray for God's forgiveness in some things, cus their death will be painful, just an advice thou.

    Boko Harrma is in Nigeria... and you are sending troops to Cameroon those these make sense. Nigerin solders are killing this fools badly, chasing them to caves, But Oboma said no lets send troops to Cameroon instead of Nigeria. I think our dear country is the target of the west. They want to destroy us and take our oil. you people at the top should speak up ooo. This is how it starts.

      It's because of people like you who have their brain upside down. Morally, we should be saying things that are provocative & sound like an attack to others irrespective of their religion. Christians are doing many more damage to human race. It's not about religion. It's about persons. Spirado shooting in schools killing innocent children, samr shooting at parks killing innocent people have been perpetrated by Christians. Legalising gay & lesbianism & many more of evil acts are done by the Christians.
