Former British Prime Minister, Mr. Tony Blair has said that Boko Haram and Al Qaeda have strong terror relationships and links that coordinate their assault world peace.
Blair made this known in a live interview with US station MSNBC, programme, morning Joes show yesterday, explicitly connecting Boko Haram to the broader global threat posed by what were thought to be previously disparate terrorist groups.
He said: “It is a little like the Cold War in the sense that you have got ISIS, you have got problems in Yemen, in Libya, Boko Haram in Nigeria where they kidnapped those young girls and where they are taking over towns in the whole of Northern Nigeria.
I think we are going to have to get into a somewhat different rhythm in this…this is going to last for a significant period of time, a generation I think.
This is further evidence of the severity of the situation facing Nigeria, as daily evidence emerges to confirm links between Boko Haram, Al Qaeda and Islamic State.”
