Boko Haram - a part of the terrorist network in Central Africa
27.11.2017
Boko Haram ("Western Education is Forbidden"), established in the mid-1990's in the north-eastern Nigeria initially as a sunni-islamic religious group, became in the following years one of the most ruthless and non-compromised armed terrorist units in Central Africa.

However, what was apparently supposed to be a rather limited engagement, it has turned into a prolonged and difficult fight. Loudly trumpeted “withdrawal” of the “main part” of the Russian forces in mid-March 2016 is now utterly forgotten.
