"We are ready to provide any assistance asked of us... in the fight against Boko Haram," Conde told a press conference in Niger's capital, Niamey, at the end of a two-day visit.

"It will depend on what our brothers (in Nigeria and neighbouring countries) ask. That's for them to tell us what they want from us,"
he added, hailing the determination of President Muhammadu Buhari to fight against the insurgents.
