Due to the
ongoing xenophobic attacks carried out against African migrants in South
Africa, the Islamist terrorist group Boko Haram has given a 24 hours ultimatum
to Pretoria to stop the massacres or face bombing attacks from them.
This warning
was reportedly contained in a brief YouTube video message, Nigerian Watch
reports.
The blood
thirsty sect threatened to extend its terror activities to South Africa if the
killing continued, warning that that if the South African government refuse to
contain the situation, it will execute all South Africans living in Nigeria,
Chad, Niger and other surrounding countries.
The Boko
Haram terrorists group also threatened to attack South African embassies in the
aforementioned countries. Meanwhile, it
has not yet been confirmed if indeed the message was genuine or not.
South Africa’s dwindling
economy has made the local people in major cities like Durban and Johannesburg
transfer their frustration to fellow Africans, who are migrants residing in
their domain.
It was reported that dozens
of African migrants have been murdered on the streets in cold blood, although
it is not yet clear if Nigerian nationals have also been a victim of the
attacks.
However, Nigeria’s minister
of state for foreign affairs Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, has said Nigerian
nationals are yet to suffer any casualty.
The murderous Boko Haram
sect who is attempting to play the role of good guy has killed no fewer than
13,000 people in Nigeria and her neighbouring countries since 2009.
Boko Haram is a Hausa word
that means “Western education is a sin,” but it is officially called Jama’atu
Ahlis Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad. the sect has displaced thousands of people
due to its fight to establish an Islamic state.
The Islamist movement which
is based in the North-Eastern part of Nigeria is also operational in Chad,
Niger and northern Cameroon.
The US State Department
designated Boko Haram a terrorist organization in November 2013. The Nigerian
government is still waging war on the sect with many of its strong hold
recaptured by the Nigerian troops.
Nigerians React
Some concerned Nigerians
have, however taken to their twitter handle to condemn the Boko Haram alleged
good guy role following the atrocity the sect it self had carried out against
innocent citizens.
BOKO HARAM HAS GUT! HOW DARE YOU,NOT ANY BETTER
