(Reuters) - West African leaders on Saturday agreed to work together to
wage "total war" on Boko Haram saying the Nigerian Islamist group had
become a regional al Qaeda that threatened all of them.
.
Nigeria's neighbors Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Benin, and Western
officials, met in Paris to flesh out a plan enabling them for the first
time to share intelligence, coordinate action and monitor borders.
.
Although Boko Haram has been fighting for five years, carrying out
bombings and attacks on civilians and the security forces, the kidnapping
last month of more than 200 girls from a school in the northeast has
focused world attention on them.
.
"Boko Haram is no longer a local terrorist group, it is operating clearly
as an al Qaeda operation, it is an al Qaeda of West Africa," Nigerian
President Goodluck Jonathan told a news conference in Paris following the
meeting.
.
"We have shown our commitment for a regional approach. Without West
African countries coming together we will not be able to crush these
terrorists," he said.
.
Outrage over the mass abduction has prompted Nigerian President Goodluck
Jonathan - criticized at home and abroad for his government's slow
response - to accept U.S., British and French intelligence help in the
hunt for the girls.
.
British Foreign Minister William Hague, speaking before the start of a
meeting, said the Nigerian military was not organized in a way to deal
effectively with the group, and offered military advisers to help
structure them.
.
"There is determination to tackle this situation head on ... to launch a
war, a total war on Boko Haram," Chad's President Idriss Deby said.

SPREADING INSTABILITY
.
With 6,000 French troops operating in either Mali to the northwest or the
Central African Republic to the east, Paris has an interest in preventing
a deterioration in Nigeria's security.
.

.
Paris fears Boko Haram could spread north into the Sahel and beyond
Cameroon into the Central African Republic. Boko Haram has already
targeted French interests in Nigeria, kidnapping a French family in
northern Cameroon last year.
.
Suspected Boko Haram rebels also attacked a Chinese work site in northern
Cameroon on Friday, killing at least one Cameroonian soldier, and at least
10 people are believed to have been kidnapped, the regional governor said.
