According to Somalia’s President Hassan
Sheikh Mohamud, Boko Haram insurgents have
been trained in Somalia before returning to
Nigeria.

The president said his country, plagued by
political in-fighting, corruption and attacks by al
Shabaab insurgents, has recently made limited
progress towards creating a functioning
political system.

“Without a stable Somalia, the whole region of
the Horn of Africa will remain unstable and by
and large, the African continent. There are
proofs and evidence that (for) sometime Boko
Haram has been trained in Somalia and they
went back to Nigeria,” Reuters quoted him as
saying.

Sheikh Mohamud said the international
community needs to be organised against
terrorism because “the terrorists are so linked
together, they are associated and so
organised.”

He spoke at a security conference in Munich,
Germany on Sunday.
