Somalia’s President, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud says fighters of the Boko Haram sect trained in his country before coming to Nigeria.
President Mohamud told a security conference in Germany that there
are proofs and evidence that for some time Boko Haram had been trained
in Somalia and they went back to Nigeria.
According to President Mohamud, “Without a stable Somalia, the whole
region of the horn of Africa will remain unstable and by and large, the
African continent.
“There are proofs and evidence that (for) sometime Boko Haram has been trained in Somalia and they went back to Nigeria.”
He added that the terrorists are so linked together, they are
associated and so organised, nations all over the world need to be so
organised.
It is not clear from his comments whether he believes al Shabaab is
still training Boko Haram fighters, who have pledged allegiance to
Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq.
