UN Condemns Escalating Attacks by Nigerian Group Boko Haram

The U.N. Security Council condemned the recent escalation of attacks by the Nigerian extremist group Boko Haram on Monday and expressed deep concern that its activities are undermining peace and stability in central and west Africa.

The statement was sponsored by Nigeria, which had been reluctant to have the council discuss the Islamic militant group despite being a member of the Security Council.

The Security Council has previously responded to specific terrorist acts by Boko Haram with press statements that do not become part of its official record.

The militant group seeks to impose Islamic Shariah law across Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation with about 170 million people, and it is increasing its territory under a self-proclaimed Islamic caliphate.

Wow, I’m glad they’re finally doing something about it... oh, wait, never mind.

[Arm_Bears]

Condemnation by the UN?

Boy—Bet that has them shaking in their boots.

[day10]

Is a sternly worded letter on the way?

[Flag_This]

The Strongly Worded Letter is next! I expect Boko Haram will commit mass suicide when they receive that.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yea, that ought to scare them into behaving.

[garjog]

An official at our ministry network said that ten of our churches and an orphanage have been burned down last week.

I wonder if we actually had a stronger leader in the white house if these kind of attacks would be less severe?

These terrorists know Zero isn’t called Zero for nothing.

[Dutch Boy]

Rumored to even contain a bold font and an exclamation point. That will teach Boko Haram not to mess with the UN.

The U.N. Security Council condemned the recent escalation of attacks

They don't seem too concerned when the attacks are in moderation. Maybe they could publish a recommended list:

You can only capture x-number per week.
You can only execute y-number per week.

[Viennacon]

Well, whoop de doo

[Scrambler Bob]

Me too, Me too.

#Stop it!

#Stop it!

You are not nice.

[workerbee]

Hey, look, it isn’t only condemnation, okay? They also expressed — can you handle it? — DEEP CONCERN. I mean, let’s get real. There were probably some diplomats late for their dinner reservations over this. My gawd, think of the bold-facing and underlining involved. Have some respect, yo!

[Arm_Bears]

Deep concern?

That’s hugh!

[RetiredTexasVet]

The UN could ask the French to send some of those unarmed police to protect them....send them to a gun fight without even a knife!

[Gritty]

Maybe Jacques Kerrie could take some burned out rocker to northern Nigeria and play some Muslim ballads for them to show our solidarity. I'm sure it would help our relations.

Who knows,... maybe they could even dialog together a bit in Swahili while the ladies heat the water in the stew pot?

[dforest]

For some reason I do not think those Boko guys care.

[chickenlips]

Jacques still thinks Boco Haram is a 60’s rock band.

[Drango]

Dang. Condemned! Way harsh.

DID MRS OBAMA ALSO CONDEMNED THE MASSACRE OF CHRISTIANS BY THE FOLLOWERS OF ISLAM?

At the end of World War II, the Jewish survivors of Europe’s Holocaust found that nearly every door was closed to them. “Tell Me Where Can I Go?” was a popular Yiddish song at the time. Decades later, the Christians of the Middle East face the same problem, and the Obama administration is keeping the door shut.

Obama’s brother Malik may be a ring leader of B H. He was shown on video boasting of a little girl slave “wife.” So, expect no comment from BO.
