The British government says it will double its support for Nigeria's fight against Boko Haram by deploying more British forces to the West African nation. British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon said that the forces will not engage in any combat role but instead provide training. The support comes at a time when Nigerian troops are making a final push into the Boko Haram stronghold of the Sambisa forest in the country's Northeast Borno State.
