We have no plans at present to commission an inquiry into the international support network for Boko Haram in Nigeria and Cameroon. However, we are working with international partners, including Nigeria and its neighbours, the US and France to share information and coordinate efforts to defeat Boko Haram, including through the creation of a Regional Intelligence Fusion Unit (RIFU).
