Remember, Boko Haram has pledged allegiance to ISIS. So when they are able to join their territory, THAT'S HOW BIG THE CALIPHATE WILL BE.LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Around 40,000 people have fled their homes in Chad in the past two weeks following attacks by Islamist militant group Boko Haram, according to an aid agency, as the insurgency stokes an escalating humanitarian crisis in the region around Lake Chad.Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) said many of the displaced people have gathered in makeshift camps where its staff were treating patients with diarrhea, malaria and respiratory infections, as well as malnourished children.“Some pregnant women have walked several kilometers in searing heat to seek medical attention,” said Federica Alberti, MSF’s head of mission in Chad. “People are living without proper shelter, and do not have access to food or clean drinking water.”
Again, let's look at a map:
Boko Haram started in Nigeria, and now are spreading into Chad.
Next stop Libya. Do you think Libya will be a difficult nation for Boko Haram to influence?
And now let's look at a map of Libya and ISIS' territory:
To join forces, Boko Haram would have to go through Egypt, after they seize Libya. I would expect Libya to be rather easy. (I could be completely wrong about that. What do you think?)
But Egypt would prove very difficult because the moderate Egyptian military controls the entire country.
HOWEVER, as we know, Barack Obama love him some Muslim Brotherhood.
ISIS and Boko Haram would have to pledge allegiance to the Muslim Brotherhood (or make some sort of pact to share power). Is that possible? I don't know.
If they did so, would it be hard for ISIS, Boko Haram, and the Muslim Brotherhood to overrun the Egyptian Military?
Yes it would.
You see Saudi Arabia and Jordan and Iran there. You can be sure, none of those nations want to see an ISIS/Boko/Muslim Brotherhood alliance.
But of course, Saudi and Jordan hate Iran, and it would take quite a bit to get them to work together even for even the briefest of moments.
This whole thing is a big clusterfuck.
A shark's feeding frenzy in the making.
You are extremely wrong about Boko Haram and Egypt. In the old confederate states the black person was treated far bettter than in any muslim country. There was a huge outcry in Saudi Arabia in 1962 when King Feisal abolished slavery and PAID THE PREVIOUS OWNERS £1,000 COMPENSATION PER SLAVE. The public feeling was that was was just another scheme for the ruling class to enrich their friends because it was three times the going rate at the local slave market, which admittedly was closed at the same time. The Arabic word for black and slave is the same. If you really want to insult an Arab from North Africa, just call him an African. The hardcore Muslim will make use of Boko Haram where it suits him but will never consider him as anything but a tool.
ReplyDeleteApart from a few token from Europe and the states, how many blacks do you see in ISIS? Africa is right next door and there are millions of them there.
Yes, the word for black and slave is Abd. It's the same, whichever you are referring to. They are considered the same thing.
ReplyDeleteQuestion, though: What am I wrong about?
This post is a series of possibilities and questions. i did not state that Boko Haram could overrun Egypt with the help of ISIS and MB.
Instead, I said maybe they would attempt to do so , but the Egyptian military is very strong.
Also, note that I called the totality of this situation, "a shark's feeding frenzy in the making."
ReplyDeleteA feeding frenzy is a real phenomenon. It happens when shark's circle around a big fish and all try to sink their teeth in, tearing of portions for themselves; but instead, end up EATING EACH OTHER.
Let me add, it seems to me we are witnessing a confluence of events coming together, like the Perfect Storm. The whole world is being turned into the perfect situation for a worldwide feeding frenzy.
