Boko Haram has been getting a lot of press lately. As an Islamic extremist group, Boko Haram started out peacefully enough in 2002. Being led by the Islamic Cleric Mohammed Yusuf. (Wikipedia) Due to economic oppression in an oppressive government. Boko Haram was able to recruit more members in Nigeria Africa. They really did not make a lot of noise until after being schooled by AQIM. Now known Al-Qaeda.
Part of the fuel that fed Boko Haram is the continued corruption and inhumane atrocities commited by Nigeria's more or less "police State" type of government.
For along time now Nigeria's police officers have been practicing things like
"extrajudicial killing". Also known as executions without trial of (usually poor),
prisoners. In a (Huffinpost) report, even though Nigerias annual miltary budget is about $5,000,000,000 a year the enlisted soldiers are usually issued 30 bullets. It seems that their officers also take part of the soldiers pay and keep it forthemselves.
This is the government that Boko Haram was born into. The current leadership of Boko Haram is 'Abubaher Shekau.' My question is: If Boko Haram succeeds in establishing an Islamic Caliphate form of government, will the soldiers be debriefed and given other opportunities to grow as Humans, such as become farmers and fisherman or would Nigerians be forced to live under another oppressive and lethal government? Don't forget "ebola is still alive and well in Nigeria too according to the United Nations Refuge RelocationService.
