| Fears of Home-Grown Jihadist Violence Mount in Niger |
| 2016-02-28 |
| [AnNahar] Increasingly targeted by jihadist fighters roaming its remote northern desert, and Nigeria's feared 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... turbans on its southern flank, Niger fears the emergence of its own brand of home-grown Islamist trouble. In recent years foreign-funded aid groups and social media have brought ideas peddled by Wahhabism -- an ultraconservative form of Islam -- to more and more of Niger's 19 million people, one of the planet's poorest nations. |
