The UN Security Council has urged central African countries to boost plans for a multinational force to fight the Nigerian armed group Boko Haram, which has seized control over an alarming amount of territory in Nigeria and stepped up cross-border raids in neighbouring Cameroon.
The council issued a 13-point statement on Monday strongly condemning attacks by Boko Haram, in particular those involving children used as suicide bombers, and demanded an end to the violence.
