Vorige week donderdag plaatste ik al een bericht over de Nigeriaanse president Buhari, die durfde te stellen, dat Boko Haram, zo goed als verslagen was*. ICH (Information Clearing Huis), bracht afgelopen zaterdag het bericht, dat het Nigeriaanse leger een heel smerige rol speelt, wat betreft Boko Haram…… Zo beging het leger maar liefst duizend moorden tijdens een anti-regerings demonstratie….. Vandaar waarschijnlijk ook het mediaoptreden van president Buhari, die bij BBC vertelde, dat hij zo goed bezig is, tegen Boko Haram….* Hier het bericht op ICH van Glen Ford, u kan desgewenst onder het artikel voor een vertaling klikken, dat neemt wel enige tijd in beslag:
Nigerian
Military: “The Real Boko Haram”
By
Glen Ford
“The
Nigerian military has long been suspected of manipulating Boko Haram
to its own ends.”
December
24, 2015 “Information
Clearing House”
– “BAR”
– Hammad Ibrahim, a soft-spoken, intelligent young man,
accompanied his father, Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky, the leader of
Nigeria’s Shia Muslims, to a conference on Solidarity
with Palestine,
in Beirut, last week. I was there, along with other reporters and
activists. Young Hammad told our group that Boko Haram, the Nigerian
jihadists, are terrorist thugs who get their weapons and money from
both Nigerian and foreign donors, just like the Islamic State, with
which Boko Haram is aligned. Hammad’s father, Sheikh Zakzaky, is
recognized as a force for reconciliation among the various religious
and ethnic groups in Nigeria. But Zakzaky’s Shia followers have
been targeted by both Boko Haram and the Nigerian military, which has
long been suspected of manipulating Boko Haram to its own ends. The
Nigerian army killed three of the Sheikh’s sons in 2009 during a
march against the Israeli occupation of Jerusalem.
By
this weekend, Hammad was also dead, killed by the Nigerian military
shortly after he arrived back in the country in a 
massacre
of unarmed Shia Muslims that left his father with bullet wounds in
both hands. The military claims the Sheikh’s followers were
plotting to kill the army chief of staff when his motorcade was
blocked by demonstrators. But, it was pure murder on a massive scale,
with as many as 1,000
dead and
two hundred bodies piled up at a morgue on the outskirts of town. The
military then bulldozed a Shia shrine and Sheikh Zakzaky’s home.
One of the Sheikh’s followers, Bukhari Muhammed Bello Jega, wrote
on his Facebook page that “the REAL BOKO HARAM is now on the loose”
in form of the Nigerian army, “bombing buildings and killing
innocent civilians.” Soon after posting that message, Mr. Bello
Jega was also killed by soldiers, along with his wife
and infant child.
“It
was pure murder on a massive scale, with as many as 1,000 dead.”
It
is not strange at all that the Nigerian military, which for years did
little to halt the rise of Boko Haram terror, has unleashed a hell on
earth for peaceful Shia Muslims. Saudi Arabia, the fountainhead of
funding for jihadists all over the world, has just formed its
own bizarre
coalition against terror,
made up of 34 nations from Pakistan to sub-Saharan Africa, including
Nigeria and its West African neighbors Chad, Togo, Senegal, Sierra
Leone, Gabon, Guinea, and the Ivory Coast. For the Saudis to be
leading a war against terror is like the Pope leading a war against
Catholicism. Everything the Saudis touch turns into terror and chaos.
The Saudi brand of Wahhabist Islam calls for the eradication of Shia
Muslims and secular governments, worldwide – a crusade that the
United States finds convenient to its own imperial purposes. When
both Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton say that Arabs and Muslims
must fight their own war against terror, they are actually endorsing
Saudi Arabia’s leadership of the Muslim world and the spread of
proxy jihadist armies throughout Africa and Asia.
West
Africa is the next front in these jihadist wars, which have already
claimed so many of Sheikh Zakzaky’s sons. The resulting chaos will
be used to justify further U.S military penetration of the African
continent, under the pretext of putting out the fires that they
themselves have set.
