Boko Haram Member Speaks With BBC, Says Only Prisoner Exchange Can Secure The Girls Release.

A man who described himself as a teacher/scholar inside the Boko Haram camp today July 8th spoke anonymously with Tobi Oladipo of BBC World radio service where he stated that it’s only the release of their imprisoned members by the Federal Government that can make them release the over 200 Chibok girls they abducted on April 14th at the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok.


“Yes we want the Nigerian government to release our members. As our leader Abubakar Shekau promised to the media, if today the government releases our members, tomorrow or the next day we promise you can see all of them (the girls) sure. We would release them tomorrow or the next day.” he told BBC World Radio.
Seaking further, the man said the abducted girls are in good condition and are well catered for


“I am telling you a fact, they are in a state of amnesty. They don’t have a problem. Some of them have belief in Islam, some of them say they would not convert to Islam but we didn’t differentiate them, we treat them equally. They are healthy, feeding and all these. We didn’t differentiate between them at all, why because, Allah commands us to do them equally. Some of them say they would not come back to Islam, we ask them to stay, no problem. There is no forcing in Islam but some of them not Muslims are converting to Islam but we are not differentiating them. If you see them now, you would see they don’t have any problem”he said

The man also said Boko Haram attacks anyone who gives out information about them and their activities

“Under Islam, killing children and women is not accepted you understand, but if they are fighting you, then you must fight them but if they are not fighting you, then it is not accepted weather they are Muslims or non-Muslims. Do not fight them, it is not accepted but if you bomb somewhere or make arrest somewhere, it will affect them but killing children and women is not accepted” he said

2 Weeks, 18 Separate Attacks By Boko Haram – The United Nations Is Worried

2 Weeks, 18 Separate Attacks By Boko Haram – The United Nations Is Worried

According to the United Nations (UN), Boko Haram is behind at least 18 attacks in Northern Nigeria in the past two weeks, and they don’t show any sign of letting up. The rising levels of violence are worrying and threaten the security of West Africa.

We have been worried for a long time.

The U.N. special envoy for West Africa, Mr Djinnit, told the U.N. Security Council the insecurity, coupled with the mounting tension fed by politicians leading up to the elections in 2015 was even more alarming.

“The level of violence against civilians in Nigeria continues to escalate, it is disheartening to note that within the last two weeks at least 18 attacks attributed to Boko Haram have been conducted resulting in the tragic death of innocent civilians and displacement of peoples,” Djinnit said.

“The Boko Haram crisis is now affecting security in the sub region,” he added.

“All efforts should be made to address the insurgency and insecurity, the present situation underscores the paramount need for the Nigerian political class to forge a unified stand in confronting the persisting insecurity,” Djinnit said.

Djinnit also said, “It is essential that West African countries close ranks and establish effective strategic and operational cooperation mechanisms to address this threat which runs the risk of destabilising the whole Sahara-Sahel region from the Atlantic to the Indian oceans,” he stated. “Their efforts should be strongly backed by the rest of the international community and the United Nations.”

General elections will hold in Côte d’Ivoire, Burkina Faso, Guinea, Niger and Nigeria in 2015.

Djinnit said that the elections would hold in “highly polarised societies and within a context of deep political divides and controversies related to ongoing or potential initiatives to amend constitutional provisions related to presidential term limits.”

“UNOWA will continue to work closely with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and other stakeholders to assist in efforts to prevent political differences from developing into violent crises and in providing electoral assistance towards consolidating democracy in the region”, the envoy said.

“Indeed, in view of the prevailing fragility in the region, every effort should be made to ensure that democracy and stability are pursued with equal commitment, as they are mutually reinforcing.”

18 attacks in 2 weeks?

Over 60 women and girls abducted last month by suspected Boko Haram militants in northeast Nigeria have escaped their captors

Over 60 women and girls abducted last month by suspected Boko Haram militants in northeast Nigeria have escaped their captors, sources said Sunday.


Local vigilante Abbas Gava said he had “received an alert from my colleagues … that about 63 of the abducted women and girls had made it back home” late Friday.


A high-level security source in the Borno state capital Maiduguri, who requested anonymity because he was not authorised to speak on the matter, confirmed the escape.


Gava, a senior official of the local vigilantes in Borno State who are working closely with security officials, told journalists the women escaped when their captors went out to fight.

“They took the bold step when their abductors moved out to carry out an operation,” he said.


Clashes took place between the Islamists and the army late Friday after an attack by the insurgents in the town of Damboa, where more than 50 of them were killed, the army had said.


Spokesmen for the armed forces or the government could not be reached Sunday for comment.


Activists of the Bring Back Our Girls movement meanwhile tried to march on the presidential palace in Abuja Sunday in another reminder of the fate of more than 200 girls kidnapped in Chibok, Borno state, on April 14, but were asked by security forces to turn back.


“It’s 83 days today that the girls have been abducted,” activist Aisha Yesufu told the press.


“We have been coming out for 68 days and nobody has really listened to us,” Yesufu told reporters after the march.


That is why the group “decided that we should just take the protest back to the President so that he will know that we are still out there after the 68 days that we have been coming out daily”.


Security experts say the overstretched and under-resourced military is incapable of fighting an effective counterinsurgency against the Boko Haram militants, who have killed thousands in their five-year campaign for an independent Islamic state in the north.
