Hillary Clinton ‘misled Obama’ On Boko Haram by activatenigeria: 9:16am On Jul 24, 2014

An associate fellow of the Henry Jackson Society and the Jamestown Foundation, Mr. Jacob Zenn, made this allegation in his report, Exposing and Defeating Boko Haram – why the West must unite to help Nigeria defeat terrorism, which was released by the Bow Group on Tuesday.



Zenn said Boko Haram, which has killed thousands of people this year alone, was not labelled a foreign terrorist organisation (FTO) for a long time ─ and this allowed the group to access finances “almost unimpeded” for the first four years of its insurgency.



Clinton was secretary of state from 2009, the year Boko Haram started its bombing campaign, till 2013, when the crisis had virtually gone out of hand. The US only labelled Boko Haram and its offshoot, Ansaru, as FTOs on November 13, 2013 ─ after Clinton’s departure from office ─ making it a crime for Americans to provide “material support” to the group and enabling banks to freeze US assets of the terrorists. Zenn claimed that the US state department led by Clinton did not label Boko Haram an FTO “because of her team’s political interests and misguided theories about terrorism”.



He further alleged that Boko Haram received finances from “domestic actors” who oppose President Jonathan and “foreign sponsors” who want to see Nigeria divided and Western economic interests attacked. His report made these recommendations: There should be international support and cooperation with the Nigerian government to counter Boko Haram;
