The United States has reiterated its condemnation of the violence and disregard for human life by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Nigeria and the surrounding region. Comprehensive monitoring and evaluation systems are reportedly in place to ensure that U.S. assistance reaches its intended recipients.
"The United States condemns the violence and blatant disregard for human life perpetrated by Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in Nigeria and the region," a statement read.
Boko Haram was designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the Secretary of State on November 14, 2013. This designation aims to block the organization's assets, halt their fundraising efforts, prosecute individual members, and restrict their travel to the United States.
The U.S. continues to collaborate with Nigeria and regional partners in efforts to counter terrorism.
