AUSTRALIA OFFERS TO HELP NIGERIA FIND CHIBOK GIRLS

The Australian government has also offered to provide special forces to help Nigeria rescue the 234 school girls kidnapped by Boko haram, this was made Known by the country’s Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, who told Sky News that Australia had offered to lend its support but Nigeria had not responded

According to punch news, Bishop reportedly said, “Australian troops, the SAS, are always on standby for contingencies. We have made an offer to the Nigerian government to provide whatever support they need to release the girls. We’ve made a specific offer to our UK and US allies … that we are ready to assist in whatever way we can.

“We have not had a response from the Nigerian government. They’ve thanked us for our willingness to be involved in trying to rescue the girls but we haven’t had any specific acceptance of the offers that we’ve made.”
The story also quotes the leader of the country’s Green Party, Christine Milne, as calling on the Nigerian government to provide more details before Australia could get involved.

Milne further said, “The Greens want to see the schoolgirls in Nigeria rescued. It is shocking to think all those young women have been dragged away and we don’t know the circumstances in which they find themselves but I think the PM needs to inform Australia fully as to what Australia would be getting into if we sent troops into Africa.

“Is this just about rescuing the schoolgirls or is this about joining a coalition to take on another terrorist war in sub-Saharan Africa?

“Australians deserve a full explanation of what the PM’s thinking is before we can make any comment about it but I would be remembering that we went into Afghanistan … and look where we ended up.”

Britain, France and the United States had also offered to help Nigeria.

This is me writing, The way the International community is rendering these help and services to Nigeria for the release of the Chibok Missing Girls is commendable but then it raises concern on what they intend to gain, are they invading Nigeria? 

The three other world powers who are helping out haven't shown any results and i also know that if it were in their country they would have gotten a lead. So what is the real Deal?
