Politics › Boko Haram And The Defeat That Never Was - CNN by stanech(op): 6:38pm On Jan 01, 2016
Story highlights
Nigeria's president vowed that Boko Haram would
be beaten by the end of 2015
But terror group has continued to mount attacks,
despite efforts of Nigerian military
Critics say corruption, lack of coordination among
factors which have helped Boko Haram flourish

(CNN)— "And I assure you that we will defeat Boko
Haram by the end of this year." This was the
pledge made by Nigerian President Muhammdu
Buhari to his Beninese counterpart, Boni Yayi,
during a gala dinner commemorating Benin's
independence during the summer of 2015.
It was a promise that the Nigerian head of state
would also reiterate to fellow Nigerians, who
eagerly waited for him to make good on his
promise and act with the decisiveness that Buhari
had accused his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan,
of lacking. Yet as 2015 drew to a close, the specter
of Boko Haram loomed as large as ever over
Africa's most populous state.
Indeed, less than 48 hours after the Buhari regime
announced that it had fulfilled its vow of defeating
the group, at least 50 people were killed in a wave
of violence in Nigeria's insurgent-embattled Borno
and Adamawa states. Those skeptical of Boko
Haram's defeat were vindicated, those residing
within the terrorists' deadly reach continue to live
in fear.
Nigeria's information minister, however,
downplayed the December 27 attacks and further
reaffirmed that Boko Haram was on the precipice
of being "wiped out." Lai Mohammed claimed to
local media that all insurgent-held territory had
been reclaimed and that Boko Haram no longer
possessed the operational capabilities to achieve
its raison d'etre, the creation of a "dawlah" -- or
Islamic-state -- in north-eastern Nigeria.
The problem with Mohammed's "impending
demise" narrative is that it equated loss of territory
with defeat. Prior to Boko Haram's capture in July
2014 of Damboa, the first Nigerian town to fall to
the extremist sect, its near decade-long
insurgency had been characterized by traditional
guerilla warfare. The group's favoured modus
operandi had been suicide bombings and hit-and-
run raids, not the capture and control of territory.

Politics › ISIS Owns Headlines, But Nigeria's Boko Haram Kills More Than Ever - Nbcnews by stanech(op): 6:23pm On Jan 01, 2016
One terror group killed nearly 11,000 people in 2015 — and it wasn't ISIS. While the Sunni militants in Syria and Iraq dominated the headlines in 2015, Boko Haram was killing more people than ever — potentially eclipsing the tally of its partner in terror. Nigeria's new government pledged to oust Boko Haram and has boasted of successfully retaking territory from the extremists, but experts warn this might merely have forced the group to change tactics and possibly prompted a higher civilian casualty toll. advertisement How bad is it? ISIS has continued its campaign of terror and was linked to attacks in Paris, Yemen, Saudia Arabia, Kuwait, Libya and elsewhere. The bloodshed has dominated international attention — from headlines to halls of power — all while thousands have silently been slaughtered at the hands of Boko Haram.
Nigeria's militant group — which has pledged allegiance to ISIS — has been tied to nearly 11,000 killings in 2015 as of mid-December, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. More than half of the deaths — around 6,500 — have been the direct result of Boko Haram's suicide bombings and armed raids. The rest died as a result of fighting between the militants and Nigerian troops, according to CFR's data. With details and information from Boko Haram's heartland in northeast Nigeria hard to come by, most experts believe the true tally of the violence has been even higher and could still climb before the year's end. "Sadly they have a history of attacks around Christmas and New Year," said Dr. J. Peter Pham, director of the Africa Center at the Washington- based Atlantic Council . That could put Boko Haram on track to surpass last year's brutal toll and claim the mantle of deadliest terror group for a second year running. Recent findings from the Institute for Economics and Peace , a Sydney-based think tank, showed that Boko Haram was the deadliest terror group in the world last year. ISIS came in second. Between them, Boko Haram and ISIS accounted for more than half of the world's terrorism-related deaths in 2014, according to the Institute's Global Terrorism Index published in November. How did we get here? Boko Haram started off the year with a bang. After slipping from the headlines as attention faded on the mass kidnapping which sparked the #BrinBackOurGirls campaign, Boko Haram mounted a massive attack in January on the fishing village of Baga.  FROM APRIL 14: Nigeria's Kidnapped Schoolgirls Still Missing, One Year Later 1:49 advertisement Satellite images and eyewitness accounts told of a merciless assault in which Boko Haram fighters gunned down children and pregnant women who were not able to escape fast enough into the bush. Estimates of the death toll there ranged from over 100 to 2,000 killed. That attack — and the prospect of an impending presidential election — sparked renewed government efforts to take on the militants and drive them from their strongholds. Boko Haram pledged allegiance to ISIS on March 7 — three weeks before the election — and once Muhammadu Buhari won the presidency, he pledged to defeat the militants by the end of the year. What has the new Nigerian government done? This "very ambitious target" showed a "sense of renewed effort … energy and focus" by the Nigerian state, according to Elizabeth Donnelly, assistant head and research fellow of the Africa program at the London-based Chatham House think tank. Nigerian troops — aided by its neighbors Chad, Niger and Cameroon — picked up where the previous administration left off in an attempt to rout the militants from their areas of control. Troops are continuing their advancement towards the main camp of the BH sect in Sambisa Forest. @RabeAbubakarDDI pic.twitter.com/yKLROi9w6d — DEFENCE HQ NIGERIA (@DefenceInfoNG) December 4, 2015 However, the attacks on Nigeria and its neighbors kept coming. Some experts say that's because the crackdown forced Boko Haram to adapt rather than crumble. "Certainly the threat has not gone away," said Donnelly. "It does seem that there has been a ratcheting up of attacks against civilians … This might be because of the pressure coming from the Nigerian armed forces." Boko Haram appears to have reverted to the hit- and-run-style warfare it employed before focusing on territorial gains and the building of its caliphate last year.  FROM JUNE 1: Thousands Flee Boko Haram in Nigeria to Island in Lake Chad 2:38 The Atlantic Council's Pham said any territorial gains made by the military might be illusory and that Boko Haram's military tactics also appear to have grown more sophisticated. For example, he said, it appears Boko Haram has learned to leave open an escape route when besieging a town and set booby traps for the fleeing government troops. With no sign of Boko Haram slowing down, newly- elected President Buhari appears to have softened his pledge. Earlier this month he said that initial deadline — cripple the militants by years end — was only meant to "serve as a guide."

Reading comments from respondents makes me to shake head in disbelief. Yes, African/Nigerian leaderd are corrupt but what proactive role is the west playing to stop it? Nothing. All they do is to make their country available to receive proceeds of loots and when they are done, seize the money to shout 'anti-corruption'. They are complicit.

As for Trump, he's a ranting mad man that has no clue about public service. Africa wasn't better with the colonialists.

Foreign Affairs › UK Declares Muslim Brotherhood Terrorist Group, Breaks With Obama by stanech(op): 7:40pm On Dec 24, 2015
The United Kingdom declared the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist group after an 18-month study ordered by British Prime Minister David Cameron — and the Obama administration slammed the document as flying in the face of the Brotherhood's history as a "nonviolent Islamist group." The report, which Cameron presented to the House of Commons on Thursday, described the Muslim Brotherhood as anti-democratic, openly supportive of terrorism, dedicated to establishing an Islamist government — and opposed to the rule of law, individual liberty, and equality. "Aspects of the Muslim Brotherhood's ideology and activities … run counter to British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, equality and the mutual respect and tolerance of different faiths and beliefs," Cameron said in a statement with the report's release. "The Muslim Brotherhood is not the only movement that promotes values which appear intolerant of equality and freedom of faith and belief." Special: Doctors Reveal Shocking Method To Look 20 Years Younger "Nor is it the only movement or group dedicated in theory to revolutionizing societies and changing existing ways of life," he continued. "But I have made clear this government's determination to reject intolerance, and to counter not just violent Islamist extremism, but also to tackle those who create the conditions for it to flourish." "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism," Cameron said. As a result, the prime minister said that the U.K. government would continue to refuse visas to Muslim Brotherhood members and associates and take other steps that included increasing surveillance on the group's activities and whether these actions could be prosecuted. Britain also will continue to uphold the European Community's freeze on the assets of Hamas, another terrorist group with ties to the Brotherhood, Cameron said. The Obama administration quickly condemned the report in a statement to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, saying that the Muslim Brotherhood had a history of nonviolence and that opposing the group could lead some members to become radicalized. The "political repression of nonviolent Islamist groups has historically contributed to the radicalization of the minority of their members who would consider violence," the administration said. "The de-legitimization of non-violent political groups does not promote stability, and instead advances the very outcomes that such measures are intended to prevent." Special: Doctor: Weird Trick Makes Your Brain Younger President Barack Obama has long embraced the Muslim Brotherhood and has defended and promoted Islam in an effort to fight Islamophobia. In January, the State Department hosted a delegation of leaders aligned with the organization. In 2011, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper told Congress that the Muslim Brotherhood has "pursued social ends, a betterment of the political order in Egypt." "In other countries, there are also chapters or franchises of the Muslim Brotherhood, but there is no overarching agenda, particularly in pursuit of violence, at least internationally." And in a 2009 interview with Al-Arabiya, a Saudi- based television network, Obama said: "My job is to communicate to the American people that the Muslim world is filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives and see their children live better lives." "My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy." Here are some key statements from Cameron's report: "The founder and first Supreme Guide (spiritual leader), Hassan al Banna, called for the religious reformation of individual Muslims, the progressive moral purification of Muslim societies and their eventual political unification in a caliphate under sharia law." "There is little evidence that the experience of power in Egypt … has caused a rethinking in the Muslim Brotherhood of its ideology or conduct. U.K. official engagement with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood produced no discernible change in their thinking. Indeed even by mid-2014, statements from Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood-linked media platforms seem to have deliberately incited violence." "Literature in the Muslim Brotherhood movement in this country continues to reflect some of the concerns of the foundational Muslim Brotherhood ideology, notably that Western society is inherently hostile to Muslim faith and interests and that Muslims must respond by maintaining their distance and autonomy." "Material still being promoted by UKIM [U.K. Islamic Mission] as of July 2014 continued to explicitly claim that it is not possible for an observant Muslim to live under a non-Islamic system of government."
