President
Hassan Sheikh Mohamud of Somali has made a shocking revelation that Al
Qaeda trained Boko Haram members in his country before sending them to
Nigeria to kill.
President of Somali, Hassan Sheikh Mohamud
Fighters for the Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram have
been trained in Somalia on Africa's eastern coast before returning to
West Africa, Somalia's president told a security conference in Germany
on Sunday.
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.
