Boka Haram the African terrorist army of Islamists, infamous for kidnapping entire villages of girl; is on the warpath.
As far back as 2002 when the group first appeared, accusations about this African terrorists group having ties to Al Qaeda were evident but ignored by the local government of Borno, Nigeria.
Boka Haram fought for headlines after the Charlie Hebdo murder, wiping-out almost the entire village of Baga, killing 2,000 people. Events like this has causes criticism of Western media that solely focused on the Hebdo murders while seemingly ignoring the slaughter wrought by the terrorist army in Africa.
Even before the destruction of the African village, Boka Haram was making a name for themselves by kidnapping 276 young girls in the village of Chibok. It is suspected that some of those same young women were strapped with explosives and later used as suicide bombers in other attacks. Chibok is a mostly Christian village which could be the motivation for the attack; like their Al Qaeda cousins, Boko Haram is a Sunni group inspired by the extremist ideology of the Wahabi movement.
The group’s latest attack included an incursion into the nation of Chad for the first time.
