Hollande Calls for African Summit on Nigeria Abductions

French President Francois Hollande called Sunday for African leaders to hold a summit in Paris on security in west Africa focusing on the the Islamist sect Boko Haram who have abducted scores of schoolgirls in Nigeria.

"I suggested, with Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, a meeting of Nigeria's neighboring countries," he said during a visit to the Azerbaijan capital Baku. The meeting will take place Saturday "if the countries agree," he added.
