Incredibly sad. With the events in Nigeria, Syria, and in Ukraine, the loss of so much human life over hate with such ruthless violence is incredibly sad. Times don't change. Remember it or not, history will repeat itself.

Terrible for the people of Nigeria that such ignorant people of such low intelligence want to impose their radical religious nut case ideals on others.

No education, no democracy and rule by intimidation, fear and violence is what these foolish boko haram nutjobs think is the way to live.

This religion kills people of that religion, then that religion kills people of this religion, then this religion retaliates and kills people of that religion and...........over and over and over again.

Teach a child to hate and the child will hate, teach a child that all life has value and he will never know hate.

These types of crimes will never cease as long as people keep teaching others to hate.

Ebbs and flows in a long war. Africa's most populace and one of the leading economies of the continent, struggles with terrorists who would split it into at least two states. Throughout Africa echo's of this can be seen, an ongoing implosion. The same forces are busy imploding the middle east. Oil rich Venezuela is being rocked by the prospering classes at the expense of the poor. Russia's border is about to become that little bit more exposed. Nations in the BRICS block and those of material or strategic importance are facing the rigors as the West struggles to maintain it's lead in a rapidly changing world, where it is losing it's position. Even the exploitation of shale gas is not enough to change the game, the west must put boots on the ground to protect vital resources which it sees as it's interests, after the forces of a long dirty war precipitate the upheaval. These reasons and more, not the cloak of religion, are why we are not about to see peace in Nigeria and throughout Africa anytime soon, the same goes for other vital parts of the globe.
