                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 2005

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, today, I would like to share with my 
colleagues a situation that has been brought to my attention.
  President Obasanjo of Nigeria promised several years ago to withdraw 
his troops from the Bakassi Peninsula in The Republic of Cameroon. It 
has not yet been done. As the President of the African Union, Obasanjo 
has an obligation to set an example for the rest of the African 
nations.
  President Obasanjo should withdraw Nigerian troops from the Bakassi 
Peninsula and return the Bakassi Peninsula to the Republic of Cameroon.
