<p>Over the last year, Boko Haram insurgents have committed widespread human rights
abuses across north east Nigeria. These have included bombings, killings, abductions
and sexual violence. A number of non-governmental organisations have also reported
that human rights violations have been committed by the Nigerian Security Forces during
their fight against Boko Haram. We have made clear to the Nigerian authorities at
all levels that, while we support Nigeria’s fight against terrorism, we do not condone
human rights violations.</p><p><br>We are providing a substantial package of UK military,
intelligence and development support to Nigeria to help its fight against Boko Haram.
This includes training and advice to Nigerian units deploying against Boko Haram,
intelligence support and assistance to the Nigerians in bringing increased development
and prosperity to the North East.</p>
