Boko Haram Dims Hopes of Oil-Fuelled Revival of North Nigeria
[AnNahar] Social and economic development has long been touted as the way to revive the fortunes of Nigeria's impoverished north and prevent legions of disaffected young men turning to radical Islam.But Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... violence has scuppered progress, particularly from one potentially lucrative source of revenue -- the oil found under the Lake Chad Basin in the country's far northeast.
