The last thing I read on that group was when they killed a bunch of kids at school for getting a western education. There is a thread at ATS about the event someplace.
The thread finally deteriorated into the apologist for the religion of peace and those who recognize their is a serious Muslim (the mean ones) problem.

With all the western companies in Nigeria and the oil I doubt there will be anything more than the typical hit and run, kill the innocents when the opportunity arises, bombs etc etc.. That stuff is going on all over the world but for many countries they do not want to report the incidence because it might affect their tourism.. No kidding, or just my opinion, either way not interested in a debate.

This conflict in Nigeria is getting as bad as the conflicts in the ME Regions!

One Question:

Where are they getting these Anti-Aircraft guns??

if they have gold or oil obummer should be by any minute to liberate them, if not, no one cares.

No one will care about the death, there is nothing to gain from that country by supporting its government.
