Asked by user @JulianaOdedeyi what the U.S. government is doing to help stop Boko Haram, Kerry responded: "Sent team of law enforcement, intelligence & military experts. Will use sophisticated counter-terrorism efforts to assist."
A small team of six military experts from U.S. Africa Command and one State Department official arrived in Nigeria today.
