6月4日VOA聽力：美國幫尼日利亞對於博科聖地
STATE DEPARTMENT— An online video posted thisweek purportedly shows Boko Haram fighters usingthe logo “Islamic State in West Africa.”
In the video, a militant accuses countries fightingBoko Haram of lying about the extent of theirsuccess in pushing back the group.
The video comes just days after newly inaugurated President Muhammadu Buhari vowed tomake fighting Boko Haram a top priority, an issue that he discussed with U.S. Secretary ofState John Kerry, who attended the inauguration last Friday.
Africa Center Director J. Peter Pham said it is important that the U.S. not allow tensions with theprevious government to fester.
Intelligence, logistics
“I expect very quickly for the U.S. to move on some low-hanging fruit, the sending of advisersto assist with intelligence and logistics, for example," Pham said.
He said Nigeria is not a poor country, in spite of its current economic problems.
Nigeria “is not looking for a handout, but it is looking for the ability to purchase sufficientplatforms and other equipment to deal with the challenges they face," Pham said.
Africa analyst Mohammed Rahim, who spoke on VOA’s “Africa 54” program, said the U.S. andother world powers also should focus on helping communities directly impacted by BokoHaram's kidnappings and attacks.
“Technical assistance can really do a major – can assist tremendously in these communities,"Rahim said.
In a briefing, a senior State Department official said the U.S. hopes to do more to help Nigeriafight Boko Haram, including training a battalion later this year.

據悉本周網上宣布的視頻表現博科聖地武裝份子應用“西非伊斯蘭國”的標識。
在視頻中，一位武裝份子責備那些與博科聖地戰役的國度在擊退該構造的水平上說謊。
就在幾天前，剛上任的總統穆罕默杜·布哈裏許諾將襲擊博科聖地作為重點義務，上周五在美國國務卿約翰·克裏加入就職典禮時，兩人商談了這一題目。
非洲中間主任J·彼得·範說，主要的是美國不許可其與前當局的重要幹系惡化。
“我猜測美國會很快會對準一些輕易實現的目的，好比吩咐消磨參謀來贊助諜報和後勤事情。”
他說只管尼日利亞今朝存在經濟題目，但這個國度並不是貧國。
尼日利亞“並非在追求救濟物，而是願望有購置充足裝備來對於今朝所面對挑釁的才能。”
非洲剖析員拉希姆接收了美國之音“非洲54”節目標采訪，他說美國和其他大國也應當存眷於贊助那些直接收博科聖地綁架和打擊影響的社區。
“技巧贊助能對這些社區起到很大的感化。”
在消息宣布會上，國務院高等官員稱美國願望做更多來贊助尼日利亞對於博科聖地，包含本年晚些時刻培訓一支軍隊。
