"Already faced with various societal, economic, ethnic and religious difficulties, Nigeria has experienced serious violence for several weeks now at the hands of the terrorist Islamist sect Boko Haram. Targeting Christians in particular in their fight for an ‘Islamist regime’, this group is held responsible for the deaths of over 900 people to date. As I am extremely opposed to such a situation, I voted in favour of this resolution in which we strongly condemn this violence. We are calling for the implementation of peaceful means to resolve the differences between communities and we are stressing the importance of respect for the principles of freedom of religion, faith, conscience and thought. Furthermore, we recall in this text the need to monitor the possible connection between Boko Haram and Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQMI) which, if it is established, would be particularly dangerous for the region’s security and stability. The Union has designated Baroness Ashton High Representative for its foreign affairs. It is high time for Baroness Ashton to work for this region combining diplomacy and long-term development cooperation in order to try to bring peace, security, good governance and respect for human rights to Nigeria."@en1
