Nigeria Claims State of War with the Boko Haram



Borno governor Kashim Shettima, recently announced that Nigeria is in a state of war against the Boko Haram.  The Nigerian military is searching for suspected terrorist group members.  The governor says that although the military is trying, they just din’t have the technology and drive of the Boko Haram and he doesn’t believe that this will be an easy feat.  Just this weekend, over 100 people were killed in an alleged Boko Haram attack in Kukawa.  The Nigerian government blames themselves for not taking a stand earlier and refuse to let these attacks slide.  Just this year, over 6,000 Western Africans have already been reported as displaced, and the suspect is the Boko Haram.
