In 2022, the US sanctioned 6 individuals who established a Boko Haram cell in UAE, and transferred $782,000 to Boko Haram in Nigeria. All 6 were jailed by the UAE. That was a good place to start with their financiers, to follow the money. Right?
In February of the same year, the Nigerian Government announced that it has uncovered 96 financiers of terrorism and 424 of their supporters/associates. It also included 123 companies and 33 currency exchanges linked with terrorism in Nigeria.
Till today, the Nigerian state has not named these animals who fund the groups terrorizing and killing our people. Rather than tackle terrorism, the state indulges in silly arguments of “it’s not a Christian genocide, the terrorists don’t care about religion.”
So how about we just end every single one of them. No terrorist or insurgents = no ideological based killings = No genocide. Is it not simple?
15 years+ fighting these terrorists, but somehow, the Nigerian government has never publicly named their financiers, we have never decisively attempt to cut off their supplies. Everytime, we are told that they have been defeated and left in ruins, but shortly after, they roar back stronger. Then you see elected officials, clerics and respected figures of the society going to negotiate release of victims with these terrorists in open light of day! The same terrorist and their cells that our Military, NSA and other intelligence agencies can’t find with all their tech and human intels. Who is fooling who?
Insanity is doing the same thing over again and expecting different results.
