"− I voted in favour of this European Parliament motion for a resolution because many of the problems in Nigeria stem from a lack of economic development and the tension is rooted in decades of resentment between indigenous groups vying for control of fertile farmlands with migrants and settlers from the Hausa-speaking Muslim north. Peaceful resolution of conflicts implies respect for human rights, access to justice and an end to impunity, as well as fair access to resources and redistribution of revenues in an oil-rich Nigeria. In its resolution, the European Parliament strongly condemns the recent violence (in particular the attacks carried out by the terrorist Islamist sect Boko Haram) and the tragic loss of life in the affected regions of Nigeria, and extends its sympathies to the bereaved and the injured. Parliament thus urges the Government of Nigeria to end the violence as quickly as possible, and to guarantee the security and protection of its population and respect for human rights. It also calls upon the President of Nigeria to encourage inter-religious and inter-convictional dialogue and to enhance freedom of thought, conscience and religion. The Government of Nigeria should examine more widely the root causes of the conflict, including social, economic and ethnic tensions, and avoid broad and simplistic explanations based only on religion that will not provide the basis for a long-term, lasting solution to the problems of the region."@en1
