During the European Union/African Union summit on Peace and Security, on Wednesday in Brussels, Belgium President Goodluck Jonathan expressed the Nation's appreciation to the European Union for its support to Nigeria and other African countries to tackle the threat of terrorism from groups like Boko Haram and Sahel.
Speaking further, the President said, "a terror attack on one nation is an attack on us all” and everything must be done to expose and defeat them".
He however, questioned the source of weapons used by the terrorists, "The weapons of choice of these terror groups are the Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW). Of recent, they have acquired the rapid propelled grenades and even surface-to-air missiles.
"Where do they get these sophisticated weapons? The total value of what these terrorists possess as individuals, in terms of what they wear, where they live cannot buy an assault rifle. We all have the collective responsibility to un-earth their sponsors and supporters who are determined to destabilise Africa. We should hold them responsible and accountable for their actions".
The President concluded is speech by adding that peace is a collective investment of the people which must be achieved through vibrant partnerships.
