And did someone created Boko Haram in order to keep foreign military in Africa that could also be used for regime change?

Nemesis, you sound so bitter, cool down buddy. It's almost as if you want your neighbors to meet the same fate as Nigeria. No matter how bad things are in your country, never you wish the same thing upon other countries.

People like you are very easily taken in by the CIA & the lot. Both Boko Haram & Taliban you seem to see as being quelled by your fascinated USA are USA-sponsored to create the pretext for USA intervention. Today it is Nigeria. Tomorrow it will be Ghana. They are just making you take your eye off the ball & they are using black people which typical. Every overthrow of an African Govt is preceded by posting a black Ambassador pledging hoax help. Now it is a black USA Govt, a black Asst Secretary of State. The Ghana "effort" may not be a "Boko Haram". There are several ways of killing a cat. Open your eyes, open your mind and look down when everyone is looking up, fellow countryman. The US wants to "own" Africa. It is not doing great for you. Look out.

What are the Ghanaian intelligence agencies doing?? A warning must be sounded to the Nigerian government. We would not wait for Boko Haram to get to Ghana. Any activity of Boko Haram outside Nigeria must receive the most decisive response from West African states. And here we must talk softly but carry a big stick.

Did you read any post from any Ghanaian Muslims that condemned Boko Haram? No!, there was a single post from one Muslims that condemned barbaric Boko Haram. All what these Muslims were writing was attacking individuals who criticized Boko Haram.
Ghanaians should be naive. We have Muslims in our midst, and these Muslims are always disgruntled. Deep inside Muslims, there is no human love. Why should Muslims who post to Ghanaweb.com attack people who criticize Boko Haram. Any criticism on Boko Haram is seen as an attack to their barbaric religion.
Ghanaian authorities must be very careful. So far as Muslims are in Ghana, it is most likely that Boko Haram is in our country. We shouldn't trust them. Why should we trust religious group who kill innocent people in the name of their Allah? A word to wise is enough.

@ali baba,those places u mentioned were peaceful before ur christian nations invaded them to leave them in peaces.if only u open ur eyes wide,u shud have,by now know that boko haram is political organisation including some prominent christians and that is where they get their funding.if christians claim churches were burnt,then more mosques were bent.about 90% of deaths r muslims,why r other parts of nigeria targeted aside muslim states.have u ever heard of nigeria govt making majour arrest on the leadership of boko haram,the last time it happened was 2009 when the founder was arrested and was executed immediately.why will they kill him so soon when he could have been interrogated,because he will mention names.about the the abduction,why was the gvt slow in reacting and also turned down offer from u.s for the search and waited after weeks before accepting the offer.initially the govt said it will not negotiate but immediately u.s came in the said they r ready for negotiation while u.s is against it.the general overseer of latter rain assembly church,paster tunde bakari is against the u.s intervention writing on hi facebook page,the u.s is planning to dismantle and take over nigeria.

RedditStumbleUponDeliciousChristian woman could face death for her faith in SudanBy Jessica King and Dana Ford, CNN
May 15, 2014 -- Updated 0424 GMT (1224 HKT)
File photo: A Sudanese woman holds a cross as she prays.STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was convicted of apostasy and adultery
She considers herself Christian, but a court contends that she is Muslim
She could be sentenced to death and to flogging
Foreign embassies in Khartoum are urging the government to reverse course
(CNN) -- A Christian woman in Sudan reportedly has until Thursday to either recant her faith or face a possible sentence of death.
Meriam Yehya Ibrahim, 27, was convicted by a Khartoum court this week of apostasy, or the renunciation of faith, Amnesty International said Wednesday, a day before the expected ruling. The court considers her to be Muslim.
According to the rights group, she was also convicted of adultery because her marriage to a Christian man was considered void under Sharia law.
"The fact that a woman could be sentenced to death for her religious choice, and to flogging for being married to a man of an allegedly different religion, is abhorrent and should never be even considered," Manar Idriss, Amnesty International's Sudan researcher, said in a statement.
"'Adultery' and 'apostasy' are acts which should not be considered crimes at all, let alone meet the international standard of 'most serious crimes' in relation to the death penalty. It is flagrant breach of international human rights law," the researcher said.
Ibrahim is eight months pregnant and currently in custody with her 20-month-old son, according to Amnesty International, which considers her a prisoner of conscience.
Christian Solidarity Worldwide, another rights group, described Ibrahim's case as follows:
She was born to a Sudanese Muslim father and an Ethiopian Orthodox mother. Her father left when she was 6 years old, and Ibrahim was raised by her mother as a Christian.
However, because her father was Muslim, she was considered by the courts to be the same, which would mean her marriage to a non-Muslim man is void.
In past cases involving pregnant or nursing women, the Sudanese government waited until the mother weaned her child before executing any sentence, said Christian Solidarity Worldwide spokeswoman Kiri Kankhwende.
After-hours attempts Wednesday to contact the Justice Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister in Sudan were unsuccessful.
Foreign embassies in Khartoum are urging the government there to reverse course.
"We call upon the Government of Sudan to respect the right to freedom of religion, including one's right to change one's faith or beliefs, a right which is enshrined in international human rights law as well as in Sudan's own 2005 Interim Constitution," the embassies of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Netherlands said in a statement.
"We further urge Sudanese legal authorities to approach Ms. Meriam's case with justice and compassion that is in keeping with the values of the Sudanese people," it read.
