Just how long do you think they’ll stay silent? They should have gone in there and wiped them out once and for all. I will make a prediction; Once they think they are strong enough, they will attack again. This is like a cancer. As with cancer, you must cut it out for good, or it will infect the body again and again.

Sounds like Boko Haram got an offer they couldn’t refuse. Thanks Olog-hai.
