state they are doing exactly what boko haram did. it is a very strategic decision. it is a very strategic way of joint attention, making governments get down on their knees. number one, they want money and number two, they want to be seen to have the upper hand. in a way, i think they are terrorists. let us look at the problem of where we are today. these are people that we knew -- many of them complained of injustice as a group. i am not making excuses for them . there is a group of vigilantes. they are victimizing them. many of them love their family members. what i am expecting is as long as we use a similar action of violence, we need to start thinking of the economic solution. that is why we look at them as terrorists and we should also look at the injustice that has been done. injustice begets injustice. >> given what was said there, the logistics of rounding up 300 her five schoolgirls and transporting them from a school are significant. that takes some organization. >> before i answer your question, i think i want to draw the

and don't also forget that there was an attack in which boko haram claimed responsibility.ventually, the bandits denied that the boko haram was responsible for that attack, but i think their intention is just to create fear and panic by these bandits, to discredit the government and make the government unpopular, because i think if they have come on table to say, yes, this is what we want. i was arguing with somebody the other day that was saying that yes, this book needs to be talked to. -- this group needs to be talked to. they need to be negotiated with. and i say well, before you talk of negotiation, they must come to table and say, yes, this is exactly what we want. they have not been able to come to table to say yes, we have a problem that government needs to address. all they are saying is that unemployment, that they need to be employed, but getting people employed cannot resort to attacking innocent citizens, especially children, who are future leaders. they are scaring people away from school, which is their intention. >> we need to get into the root causes of thi

a faction of boko haram these some is it who wanted to can we gals from. that live with what it did when the school children because they wanted to the war much it is a very strategic decision. like my colleague but emma because you say. it is a very strategic we of drawing attention make a government get down to kind of a sin to be a demand. because one they want it they want money to do you want to be soon to have the upper hand so in a way yes i do with. terrorism but. i think on the 2nd hand let us look at the problem that got us where we are today. many of them are people that we know ahead of us they are people we knew who had. who had patches they were heading back out to us but then many of them complain of injustice some years ago they are from a particular tribe known as full and i'm not making excuses for them but at a point sign an understanding governments in the past especially. because they're not states. they are a group of vigilantes who where going up and victimizing them to the point of this process and then of the order in the world whi

should of boko haram these some years ago we needed to create girls from she. that lead with what people did when the keep school children because they wanted to just the war my. if he's started the decision like my colleague with him up because he said. it he's very sad to see we all drawing attention mickey governments get down on the need to kind of a thing to get the minds gently because one the ones that they want money to do you want to be seen to have the upper hand so in a way yes i do within the charities why it's on us it's on the front hand let us look at the program that got us where we ought to be many of them on people that we knew had us the i people we knew who had. who have tattoos that are heading their couches but a vent many of them completely of injustice some years ago their former political ox live more the fall i mean i'm not making excuses for them but the point i mean understanding government in the past especially in there's a vampire and because they're not states. there was a group of vigilantes who where young enough and victimizin
