Boko Haram: Coffers and Coffins; A Pandora's Box - the Vast Financing Options for Boko Haram

"Like many other AQ franchises, Boko Haram collaborates with organized crime syndicates for its operations in drug trafficking, kidnappings, bank robbery, and cyber scams, not to mention continuous theft from Nigerias security establishment. In addition, Boko Haram raids rural towns and villages; by terrorizing civilians, they can implement random taxes at anytime to quickly fill depleted coffers. During 2014 Boko Haram raided over 40 villages with an estimated 2,000 casualties; many of the villages were burned to the ground. These diverse sources have reportedly secured an income for Boko Haram of approximately $70 million (N11 billion) between 2006 and 2011."

#5 The move automatically subjects Boko Haram to U.N. sanctions, including an arms embargo and asset freeze.

Fine print says that they're barred from the UN conference lunch buffet lines, too.

A stinging rebuke!
