<p>We are concerned with the increase of Islamic State West Africa (ISWA) activity
in North Eastern Nigeria. Together with international partners, we will continue to
support Nigeria and its neighbours to tackle threats to regional stability by ISWA.
Regional governments must work together to stabilise areas affected by terrorism and
reduce safe havens for terrorists. Humanitarian operations have been placed under
pressure and some suspended, cutting off support for up to 120,000 people. We are
working with international partners to support contingency planning to protect aid
workers, providing strategic military advice, and are reviewing options for additional
UK assistance.</p>
