What do President Goodluck Jonathan and the Global Media have in common?
I’ve been following the murderous exploits of Boko Haram, alongside Somalia’s Al-Shabaab for a number of years. I once tried to weigh them up, compare and contrast these two entities causing havoc throughout the regions in which they exist. Initially, bear with me here, I could comprehend the root causes of why Al-Shabaab began even having been in Kampala in 2010 when they bombed it killing 74 people (I covered it for CNN). Though completely distorted now, Al-Shabaab was forged from the ruins of the Islamic Courts Union, a structure which had installed a relative amount of peace and stability in the country through their governance and by resisting practices by Western countries such as the dumping of toxic waste in Somali waters.
