The Honorable Robert P. Jackson: "It has now been one month since Boko Haram kidnapped more than two hundred girls from the town of Chibok in northeastern Nigeria."
The Senate Subcommittee on Africa met to discuss recent gains in democratic governance and security in Somalia, following 20 years of civil war. The witnesses concluded that al-Shabaab remains a extremist threat, that the US must provide more aid to the AMISOM force, and that the federal structure of Somalia must be better explained to the country’s populace.
