| ''It's Obvious,'' Gen Ariyibi Says Boko Haram Enjoying Foreign Funding | |
| 2025-02-18 | |
... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality...and other terrorists. Ariyibi made the comment on Channels Television's The Morning Brief saying Boko Haram and the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... in West African Province (ISWAP)'s foreign backing is one of the reasons the war against terrorism has lingered in Nigeria. ''There's no doubt about it that this sort of operation cannot be sustainable for the past 15 years without some sort of external collaboration and assistance,'' he said on Monday's edition of the breakfast show. ''It's obvious that the operations of Boko Haram and the Islamic State in West African Province (ISWAP) have metamorphosized since their allegiance with ISIS, and they have had access to international funding which is beyond the shores of Nigeria. It's obvious in the caliber of weapons you see them display. It's obvious in the sort of sustainability plans that they have. Right now, they are moving into drones and not only surveillance drones but also drones that can deliver lethal weaponry.'' | |
