How did Boko Haram become a globally recognized Terrorist Organization?

Despite all the carnage and bloodshed committed by Boko Haram, it wasn't all that easy to get the group classified and duly proscribed as a terrorist organization.



It took a US congressional debate to compel on the US govt to proscribe Boko Haram, to which both the Obama WH initially declined and northern Senators and Governors kicked against. The northern governors and legislators claimed such a designation will lead to American forces being deployed to the north and they compared such move with the phantom search for WMD in Iraq as a prelude excuse to invade and destabilize that nation.

Hilary Clinton as then Secretary of State testified before a US congressional hearing on Boko Haram where she downplayed the activities of Boko Haram reiterating an official statement by the WH where Obama opined that wide spread corruption and abject poverty where at the root of what he described as an insurgency.

It will take mounted pressure by US congress to compel the Obama WH to do the needful. The abduction and murder of a British and Italian expatriate in Sokoto plus the bombing of the UN headquarters in Abuja was what made Obama to do the needful.

The facts remains that Obama refused to designate Boko Haram a Terrorist organization because of Saudi lobbyists and ACN traitors who contributed handsomely to the Clinton Crime Foundation.

I will be posting from the archives of those who both openly condemned BH designation as a Terrorist organization and also how they downplayed the deadly terror organizatioin as an insurgency ans not a jihadist organization.

Nemesis will catch up with Buhari and his supporters soon.

Whichever way boko haram is looked at. It has become a big business for some people. And that's why there was resistance to classify them as terrorists.

If Boko Haram were to be in SE, the northern army would have wiped out the entire Igbo villages in the name of fighting Boko Haram but God is not a man.

Okay

Buhari was Boko Haram spokes person and today, Buhari has Shakou's contacts he called him and negotiated for chibok girls release.

Those fools parading themselves as governors are the biggest sellouts ever.

The Igbo people should get rid of all these Abuja contractors parading themselves as their governors and leaders.
