Boko Haram Fighters Trained in Somalia- President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud
Category: Boko Haram News
Fighters for the Nigerian
Islamist militant group Boko Haram have been trained in Somalia on
Africa's eastern coast before returning to West Africa, Somalia's
president told a security conference in Germany on Sunday.
Somalia, plagued by political in-fighting, corruption and
attacks by al Shabaab insurgents, has recently made limited progress
towards creating a functioning political system, President Hassan Sheikh
Mohamud said.
"Without a stable Somalia, the whole region of the Horn of Africa will
remain unstable and by and large, the African continent. There are
proofs and evidence that (for) some time Boko Haram has been trained in
Somalia and they went back to Nigeria," he said.
"The terrorists are so linked together, they are
associated and so organised, (that) we the world we need to be so
organised," he said, speaking in English.
It was not clear from his comments whether he believed al
Shabaab was still training Boko Haram fighters, who have pledged
allegiance to Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq.
Somalia's al Shabaab, which has links to al Qaeda and
wants to overthrow the Somali government and impose a harsh version of
Islamic law, claimed responsibility for a blast this month that punched a
hole in the fuselage of a plane.
