A US political commentator has said the
Boko Haram militant group in Nigeria has been created by the US, Press
TV reported yesterday.
“Boko Haram is a CIA creation. It has
been created by intelligence operatives, supported and armed by factions
that are connected to the United States through Saudi Arabia,” said
Keith Harmon Snow, in an interview with Press TV.
The analyst alledged that Washington has
been attempting to destabilize Nigeria through propping up the Boko
Haram militant group in recent years.
He further stressed that the Pentagon
has been directly contributing to the destabilization of the most
populous African nation by supporting the militant group.
The United States and its allies are
trying to use the militancy in Nigeria as a pretext for the deployment
of US troops to the African country, the analyst said.
Boko Haram has claimed responsibility
for a number of deadly shooting attacks and bombings mainly in
northeastern Nigeria in recent years.
Reacting to the story on Press TV
website, a commentator, who identified himself only as Williams said
said that explains why Nigerian government is doing little about it,
when their neighbor, Chad has allegedly done more to tackle Boko Haram.
“US …in the Middle-East, Asia, Europe
and now Africa (North and West); but it is obvious that they will be
buried with burden of too many loads sooner rather than later because
they have no real friends in all of this regions. Nigeria must be ready
to take on the insurgents on their own or they risk permanent
destabilisation of the country, because such groups as Biafra may spring
up,” William said.
All efforts to get the reaction of the
US Embassy failed as their officials failed to respond to calls and text
messages sent to them.
