Barack Obama has pledged the US will do “everything we can” to help Nigeria find more than 200 abducted schoolgirls as another eight were taken from a village by armed gunmen.
The US President, who described the situation as “heartbreaking” and “outrageous” said the kidnapping could be “the event that helps to mobilise the entire international community to finally do something against this horrendous organisation”.
“We’re going to do everything we can to provide assistance to them,” he said.
“In the short term our goal is obviously to help the international community, and the Nigerian government, as a team to do everything we can to recover these young ladies.”
The US is sending military personnel and FBI officials with expertise in hostage negotiations.
