Military Force Alone Can't Defeat B'Haram, Others --Obama

The United States President Barack Obama said on Tuesday that military
force alone could not defeat the Boko Haram insurgents and other
terrorist organisations around the world.

Obama's statement came ahead of Thursday's Summit on Countering
Violent Extremism.

According to the US Department of States, Washington is hosting the
summit to highlight domestic and international efforts to prevent
violent extremists and their supporters from radicalising, recruiting
or inspiring individuals or groups in its country and abroad to commit
acts of violence, "efforts made even more imperative in light of
recent, tragic attacks throughout the world."
