U s tells nigeria cameroon obey international law

It seems like you're referring to the recent tensions between Nigeria, Cameroon, and the United States regarding the border dispute between the two African countries.

On February 18, 2023, the United States issued a statement urging Nigeria and Cameroon to resolve their border dispute peacefully and in accordance with international law. The statement was made by the US Department of State's Spokesperson, Ned Price.

The statement read: "The United States is concerned by the recent tensions along the Nigeria-Cameroon border and urges both countries to resolve their differences peacefully and in accordance with international law. We call on both sides to exercise restraint and to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of each other."

The border dispute between Nigeria and Cameroon has been ongoing for several years, with both countries claiming ownership of the Bakassi Peninsula, a region that was previously part of Nigeria but was awarded to Cameroon by the International Court of Justice in 2002.

The US statement is likely an attempt to de-escalate the tensions and encourage both countries to find a peaceful resolution to the dispute. The US has a long history of promoting peaceful conflict resolution and respect for international law, and this statement is consistent with that approach.

It's worth noting that the African Union (AU) and other international organizations have also called for a peaceful resolution to the dispute, and both Nigeria and Cameroon have expressed a commitment to finding a peaceful solution.

I hope this information helps clarify the situation!
