TIME MAGAZINE MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE
Africa most brutal face of terror made this year's TIME MAGAZINE 100 most influential people's list. In as much as he is well know,I personally don't think that this man should makes this list. We only hope this doesn't get into his TERROR HEAD.
THIS IS WHAT TIME MAGAZINE SAYS ABOUT HIM:
Most Americans do not yet recognize his name,
but the citizens of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, know Abubakar
Shekau all too well: he is the most violent killer their country has ever seen.
Shekau took over the terrorist organization Boko Haram in 2009 after the group
had been weakened by Nigerian government forces.
Shekau, who is believed to be in his 30s, began to stage
increasingly daring kidnapping and killing raids on schools, churches and
mosques thought by Boko Haram to be violating their interpretation of Islam.
The taking of over 200 schoolgirls in April 2014 brought Boko Haram into the
international spotlight.
By most accounts, Boko Haram has killed more than 10,000 people
and is spreading into neighboring countries. Shekau’s latest action may finally
summon a U.S. response: he has publicly aligned his group with ISIS, the
terrorist group that holds territory in Syria and Iraq and has expanded its
reach into Yemen and Libya.
