The Swiss government says that it has not given any money to support the military efforts against Boko Haram in Nigeria. The comment was in response to a statement by a senior official in the African Union who claimed Switzerland is one of the countries donating to the international coalition.
"As a neutral actor in conflict situations, Switzerland has never given financial support to military interventions and will abstain from doing so in the future," the Swiss Foreign Ministry told AFP.
Boko Haram has been increasing its attacks in Nigeria, as well as in neighboring Cameroon, Chad and Niger.
