The UAE Stands In Solidarity With Nigeria And Condemns The Terrorist Attack
The UAE strongly condemned the terrorist attack that took place recently in Nigeria’s Borno state
The attack resulted in the death of 2 people and 20 children being kidnapped.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation made a statement saying:
the UAE expresses its strong condemnation of these criminal acts and its permanent rejection of all forms of violence and terrorism that aim to destabilise security and stability in contravention of all humanitarian values and principles
Local residents and the community leader stated that 13 girls and 7 boys, between the ages of 12 and 15, were kidnapped on Thursday. The attack happened in Piyemi village which is near Chibok town, where 8 years ago the group Boko Haram abducted more than 200 schoolgirls. That attack created an international outcry.
