The commander of the United States Special Forces Operations in Africa, Maj Gen James Linder has said the United States military will provide communications equipment and intelligence to help African nations in the fight against Islamist terrorist group, Boko Haram.

 Reuters reported on Tuesday that Linder explained that the gesture was part of the annual US-backed ‘Flintlock’ counter-terrorism exercises this year in Chad, adding that the US will provide the technology that would allow African partners to communicate through cell phones, radios as well as computers.
