Latin-American Drug Cartels Fund Boko-Haram, Ansaru - Report by Morgan1092(m): 8:34am On Mar 09, 2013 |
There are indications that terrorist groups, Boko Haram and Ansaru, are being funded by drugcartels in Latin America, a report has revealed. The report entitled, "Terrorism in Northern Africa and the Sahel in 2012: Global Reach and Implications," is an update on fiveearlier studies. Published by the Director, Inter-University Centre for Terrorism Studies, USA, Yonah Alexander, in February 2013, the report suggested that Al-Qaida in IslamicMaghreb, had aligned with many other groups in order to expand its sources of funding. Intelligence reports have in the past identified a strong link between AQIM and Boko Haram with the newly emerging Ansaru. In December 2012, the Commander of the United States African Command, Gen. Carter Ham, stated that there was an increasing collaboration between AQIM and other terrorist groups in Africa, including Boko Haram. 燭he 33-page report states in part,"The threats of Al-Qaida's new regional hub in northern Mali and from its associates constitute both tactical and strategic challenges. "Primary sources of financing of their activities include kidnapping(in some cases, kidnapping is outsourced to criminals), piracy and illicit trafficking of drugs, human, vehicles and other contraband goods. "Intelligence reports and arrests have confirmed that AQIM has established links with Latin cartelsfor 'drugs-for-arms' smuggling into Europe through terrorist-trafficking networks in the Sahel." The report indicates that the drugand arms trafficking undertaken by the terrorists groups is further aided by porous borders of countries in the region. It is stated in the report that the status of AQIM in the Sahel has opened a new path for the terrorist group to shift its centre of gravity from Afghanistan and Pakistan to a new abode. With regional assessments on nine different African nations, the report states in the section on Nigeria, that Boko Haram and Ansaru's involvement with AQIM fits the "model of internationalisation of terrorist movements" in other parts of the world. Boko Haram operatives have beenreported in the past to have attacked banks in order to raise funds for their operations. However, our correspondent contacted the spokesperson for the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, Mitchell Ofoyeju, to find out if the agency was aware of the drug-for-arms modus operandi of Boko Haram and Ansaru. "We are aware of the report. The agency is conducting a critical investigation on that angle. The outcome of the investigation would determine what step to take next. But as far as NDLEA is concerned, we are not overlooking anything," Ofoyeju said. http://mobile.punchng.com/output.php?link=http://www.punchng.com/news/latin-american-drug-cartels-fund-boko-haram-ansaru-report/ |

Is CIA trying to twist what we already know? We are going to ofcos study this report and schedule our planned approach. We are not loosing sleep that CIA may be funding BH from there Algeria arm in order to weaken Nigeria as a regional power noting that we can only grow to international power following our population, oil wealth, agric wealth, aggressiveness in educational pursuance etc. Our politics n presence in Africa has been admired by many countries following our matured approach in international politics ousting S/Africa from the scene. With our improving economic power , the west is seeing another china in Nigeria, what Nigerians don't see themselves . G8 Nations lead by David Cameron wanted to twart GEJ by oil money n corruption but GEJ took the battle to there door steps and rattle them with the caution "Stop buying BLOOD OIL from NIGERIA" bigger corruption for them to contend with.

First the CIA, Now some Latin-American Drug Cartel? A load of rubbish, IMO. What would a "Drug Cartel" benefit from a group like Boko Haram whose motives are purely based on religious grounds? Never heard this sect linked to any "drug smuggling" or such activity. But I could be wrong. 1 Like |

Table Leg : Yes I am aware of that. Surely a group like Boko Haram would need a lot of funds or they'd pack up. And definitely they're getting funded by someone. I'm just astounded because, unless I've missed a couple headlines I can't remember the last time I saw any "drug" or "hard substance" related activity by the sect. It's all getting blurry. Who's really funding Boko Haram? |

HQ: First the CIA, Now some Latin-American Drug Cartel?. What Boko Haram wants hasn't been fully established since they have refused to negotiate with the FG. Let's not rule out all possibilities. All churches in the north haven't been bombed,so we can't exactly say that all there is,and can ever be to the sect is religion. Now,they are taking a break. Let's see what they have up their sleeves next,now dt the Sultan is pleading amnesty on deir behalf. |
