‘Boko Haram fighters trained in Somalia’

BOKO Haram Fighters have been trained in east­ern coast of Somalia before returning to Nigeria, Soma­lia’s president told a secu­rity conference in Munich, Germany yesterday, Reuters reported.

Somalia, plagued by political in-fighting, cor­ruption and attacks by al Shabaab insurgents, has recently made limited progress towards creat­ing a functioning political system, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said.

“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) some time Boko Ha­ram has been trained in So­malia and they went back to Nigeria,” he said.

“The terrorists are so linked together, they are as­sociated and so organised, (that) we the world we need to be so organised,” he said, speaking in English. It was not clear from his com­ments whether he believed al Shabaab was still training Boko Haram fighters, who have pledged allegiance to Islamic State militants in Syria and Iraq.

Somalia’s al Shabaab, which has links to al Qa­eda and wants to overthrow the Somali government and impose a harsh version of Islamic law, claimed re­sponsibility for a blast this month that punched a hole in the fuselage of a plane.
