Nigeria refuses to deploy its troops with African Union peacekeepers in Somalia
Nigeria’s minister for foreign affairs has angrily responded to a question asked by his counterparts from Uganda and Ethiopia at the AU summit regarding the deployment of troops in Somalia previously pledged by his country and when that was likely to happen.
The minister said there is no peace to keep in Somalia and that any claims by some countries that they are going to restore peace and security in Somalia are insincere. The Nigerian minister of foreign affairs said they were not going to deploy their troops in Somalia.
