JAMB - Government (2014 - No. 41)
Nigeria is regarded as a frontline state because she
assisted ECOMOG troops in Liberia
sent troops for peacekeeping in Somalia
sent policemen for peacekeeping in Namibia
Assisted the liberation struggle in Southern Africa
Explication
The Frontline States (FLS) were a loose coalition of African countries from the 1960s to the early 1990s committed to ending apartheid and white minority rule in South Africa and Rhodesia. And Nigeria contributed greatly to this cause.
