Despite US hopes that the killing of Sheikh Osama bin Laden (martyr, Insha'Allah) Islamic movement would suffer irreparable damage, branches of the Al Qaeda and the Salafi groups that adhere to the same path, not only did not weaken, but continue to strengthen their influence, including in the African country of Nigeria, which had not previously been considered by Americans as the source of Jihad, according to the UmmaNews website.

Nigerian Mujahideen remain active in the north-eastern part of Nigeria. Their objective coincided with the objectives of fighters of al-Qaeda. The movement was founded in 2002. It is known as "Boko Haram" - meaning the ban on the spread of Western education, culture and values.

Growth in the number of fighters, "Boko Haram" - is another warning for the West, because it shows how quickly this branch of Al-Qaeda may grow, evolve and eventually become a threat to local puppet regime, the US and its allies.

Islamic fighters from the "Boko Haram" conduct active military operations, which include raids on offices and checkpoints of puppet police, seizure of weapons and ammunition, as well as training of young Muslims who are fighting and training in the desert at the border towns between Nigeria and Niger.

The activities of the Mujahideen were aimed at overthrowing pro-US regime and establish an Islamic government, which they nicknamed the "Nigerian Taliban".

The group was founded in city of Kanam. In 2003, "Boko Haram" began to operate in other major cities, including in Maiduguri and Damaturu, state capitals of Yobe and Borno.

Nigerian puppets took a concerted effort to stem the onslaught of the Mujahideen and the restoration of relative calm. That was in 2003, but since then the group has become much more experienced and stronger. Mujahideen of "Boko Haram" have begun to apply new tactics - Istishhad, or self-sacrifice, operations.

In June, just one month after the Inspector-General of Police Hafiz Ringim had argued that he was "determined" to eliminate the Jihad, the Mujahideen carried out an Istishhad operation against police headquarters in the capital of Abuja. The main purpose of Islamic fighters was to kill Hafiz Ringim, and he barely escaped.

Last month, the Mujahideen detonated a car bomb at the UN building complex in Abuja. As a result of this attack at least 16 foreign aggressors were killed. The operation was a warning to the ruling regime of Nigeria and the Western alliance as well.

As a result of a failure work of the Nigerian puppet police Mujahideen were able to establish contacts and cooperation with the fighters of al-Qaeda operating across the Sahara Desert, which includes Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Morocco.

According to experts, the Mujahideen of "Boko Haram" fight against those segments of society that are oriented to Western values ​​and lifestyles. Their goals are the puppet politicians, political groups and representatives of Christians working for the regime, as well as those who oppose the introduction of Sharia in the country.

Western officials have expressed the assumption that some senior figures of the regime have been providing covert support to the Mujahideen.

Many wealthy people of Nigeria make large donations to Islamic schools and other Islamic institutions. Experts fear that they are also fund the Mujahideen.
Serious concern to Western intelligence services is the proliferation of Islamic movements across Africa, just south of Sahara. Weak protection of the Nigerian border made it possible for Nigerian and Somali Mujahideen from al- Shabaab to cooperate amongst themselves and with other Islamic movements in Africa.

"The sprawling destabilization of the region", that is how experts describe the current situation in Africa. Contacts of "Boko haram" with al-Shabaab in the south and the Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb in the north of the continent, cannot not cause major concern to the Western alliance.

It becomes quite apparent that the prospect of unification of all Mujahideen in Africa and creation of a unified Islamic front is getting closer.

  1. The only part I see that is propaganda on this article is "Despite US hopes that the killing of Sheikh Osama bin Laden...".

    As far as I know he died naturally in 2001. He wasn't "killed" by the U.S. Regardless of what al-Qaeda says.
