The United States offered Tuesday to send a team of experts to Nigeria to help find 200 kidnapped schoolgirls amid a wave of outrage over their abduction.
US Secretary of State John Kerry made the offer in a phone call to Nigeria‘s President Goodluck Jonathan, who “welcomed” it, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said.
Apart earlier calls by the president for external help, Nigeria’s Finance Minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, while speaking on CNN also made a plea for help from any country willing to offer it. [AFP]
