Nigerian President Claims That Arms Shipments Meant for Ukraine are Ending up With Extremist Groups in Africa

National File:

Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari complained on Tuesday that the ongoing war in Ukraine is flooding the Lake Chad region with weapons. The U.S. has provided nearly $30 billion in security assistance to Ukraine since last February, while EU nations have provided close to $20 billion. Officials have admitted that some arms shipments have been difficult to track once they enter the conflict zone.

Buhari was speaking at a summit of the Lake Chad Basin Commission (LCBC), a cooperative organization formed in 1964 by Nigeria, Niger, Chad, and Cameroon when he touched on growing concerns of arms trafficking. The LCBC was later expanded to include the Central African Republic (CAR) and Libya as members, plus Egypt and the Democratic Republic of Congo as observers, while its emphasis has shifted from environmental concerns to national security in recent years, Breitbart News reported.

The region has long been plagued by ethnic violence, most notably in recent years from the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram and its splinter group, the Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP). Representatives from the four LCBC members stated that they have experienced “unprecedented levels of crises” over the past decade as a result of the numerous conflicts. MORE

  3. Yes, tell me again about the evil Russian “Merchant of Death”. I love a good villain to hate.

    After many months, and many millions of dollars worth of weapons disappearing into the Ukrainian weapons bazaar, our brilliant, forward-thinking Pentagon panjandrums decided last month to send some people over there to try and keep track of the stuff. Which means the problem will probably get worse.
