Iran is willing to help Nigeria win the fight to rid North Eastern part of the country of insurgency.
Amir Hossein Abdollohian, the Iranian deputy foreign affairs minister, made the announcement while addressing the press on Saturday on the sidelines of the ongoing 24th Assembly of the African Union (AU) Heads of State and Government in Addis Ababa, capital of Ethiopia.
“Boko Haram in Nigeria and Al-Shabaab in the Horn of Africa are similar with Al-Qaeda and ISISL in parts of the Middle East using similar methods of operations to cause havoc to the people of the two regions,” Abdollohian said.
“Iran is therefore willing to use its experience in dealing with terror groups to assist in combating these groups in Africa. Iran is willing to share its experiences on terrorist activities it gathered over the years in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria and other parts of the Middle East with Africa, particularly Nigeria and Somalia.”
The move, according to Amir , is Iran contribution to global peace.
