#2 The participants of the summit decided to strengthen the exchange of intelligence information in West Africa, coordinate the actions of their armies and military missions in Africa and increase border controls.

#3 The Frenchies have declared Boko Haram to be the de facto main terror threat to all of WEST + CENTRAL AFRICA.
