Boko Haram

The world has tried to curb terrorism . It has made hard choices and painful concessions, sat down with the leaders of known and recognized terror groups or their representatives to reason with them and sometimes appease them to stop the killing and shedding of innocent people 's blood . Some of the super power nations have had to support one terror group or the other to fight against another terror group with hopes to somehow stop the onslaught of innocent people by the act of terrorism . This option has actually done more harm than good because the terrorist have seen such moves as a sign of weakness on the side of the government. Nigeria is a country that has seen its share of terrorism and radicalism . From Biafra war , the Niger Delta insurgency and the Boko Haram terrorism . The country had tried to negotiate with Boko Haram several times for them to stop the killing . Instead of Boko Haram cooperating with the government, the talks actually led to defiance and have emboldened Boko Haram.
