I've always known that boko haram is not political. It's a religious terrorist group sponsored mainly by other terrorist groups from the middle east. Though there are possibilities that some northern politicians and elites who are also local sponsors are using the group to serve their political interests. I can't just imagine some foolish people allowing foreigners use them to destroy their own land in the name of religion. Stupidity of the highest order.
