The United States has sent military and security “advisers” to Nigeria to help President Goodluck Jonathan’s government rescue more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist group Boko Haram.
Britain has also sent security forces, with the former colonial power stating Thursday that it will be working closely with Washington.
