WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Another
Islamic Sect emerges …to
counter Boko Haram?

We don't believe in killing
Innocent People and
Security Officials!
By Tukur Mamu
While it is not yet clear as at
press time whether there is
crisis among followers of the
Jamaatu Ahlil Sunna Wal daa Wati
popularly called Boko Haram, as a
new video exclusively obtained
by DESERT HERALD has shown the
emergence of another radical
sect by name Jama'atu
Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladi
Sudan.
While the Boko Haram has so far
restricted its operations to
Nigeria and precisely the north
east, the new group headed by
one that goes with a pseudo
name of Abu Usamatul Ansar will
defend the interest of Islam and
Muslims in Africa. To some, the
sect headed by Ansar is seen as
one that will compliment the
`struggle' by the Boko Haram
sect under Imam Abubakar
Shekau but to many it is an
indication that all is not well with
the leadership of the Boko
Haram sect and that there has
been conflict about its ideology
and its understanding of Islam
hence the decision to form a
new group.
While the Boko Haram sect
considers every non Muslim
including Christians as enemies
that must be killed, the
Jamaatu Ansarul Muslimina
fi Biladi Sudan under Ansar in
the exclusive video did not
believe in killing innocent non
Muslims except "in self defense
or if they attack Muslims like the
cases we have in Jos". And while
the Boko Haram considers any
security agents including the
para military whether big or the
smallest rank as a `legitimate'
target for elimination , the Ansar
group said they don't believe in
killing innocent security
operatives except if they are
attacked by them or in self
defense. The name Jamaatul
Ansarul Muslimina fi Biladin Sudan
meaning the Group that
dedicates itself to helping
Muslims in Africa, its logo, aims
and objectives according to the
new leader of the sect, Abu
Usamatul Ansar in the exclusive
video that shows him addressing
his commanders is to correct the
concept, meaning and purpose of
JIhad in Islam.
In the exclusive video which was
made in Arabic and translated in
Hausa and English, Usamatul
Ansar's speech clearly indicates
that their understanding of
Jihad in Islam is different from
the one being adopted by the
Boko Haram sect. He said the
Jamaatu Ansarul Muslimina
fi Biladi Sudan considers
anybody that accepted the
khalimatush shahada (believing in
one God and Prophet Muhammad
PBUH as the messenger of Allah)
as a Muslim who must not be
killed except he/she has
committed an act that is
punishable by death as stated in
the holy Qur'ran. "Islam forbids
killing of innocent people including
non Muslims. This is our belief and
we stand for it", Ansar said.
Ansar said they will not target
or kill any security personnel in
the name of Jihad but that they
will protect the interest of
Muslims and Islam anywhere in
Africa and that they expect the
government to allow them to
freely practice their religion and
to always do justice to the
people.
He said recent attacks on
Muslims in Jos and Kaduna during
the Eld-el fitr prayer and in the
aftermath of the presidential
election violence is unacceptable
to them. He emphasizes that the
holy Prophet Muhammad has
indeed leaved with non Muslims
and even Jews but on the
condition that they will not do
anything to harm them directly
or indirectly. But Ansar said they
will always attack any group or
religion that attack Islam and
Muslims. He said the rampant
massacre of Muslims in Nigeria will
no longer be tolerated and that
they will never attack any
religion or government
institution that didn't attack
them and their religion.
Even though the leader of the
Boko Haram, Imam Shekau, did
not make any comment about
the emergence of the new group
and whether or not it is not as
a result of the reported division
between them that resulted to
the purported breakup, many
believe that there is indeed feud
between those that are opposed
to the rampant and
indiscriminate killings of Muslims,
which are the radical elements
under Shekau, and those that
are opposed to such killings
under Usamatrul Ansar.
According to DESERT HERALD
source within the Boko Haram
sect, the content of the video
clearly shows that there is a
division among the Boko Haram
members on the method of their
operations, target and the killing
of the military, police and even
paramilitary officials by the Boko
Haram sect.
What remains to be seen is
whether or not these purported
division, crisis and the emergence
of a `splinter' group in Boko
Haram will affect its influence,
operations and its future. So far
and as at press time DESERT
HERALD could not confirm the
percentage or the number of
`commandos within the Boko
Haram sect that defied Malam
Abubakar Shekau and formed
the Jamaatul Ansarul
Muslimina fi Biladin Sudan
but sources said significant
number of the Boko Haram sect
have shifted loyalty to the new
leader of the Jamaatu Ansarul
Muslimina fi Biladin Sudan under
Abu Usamatul Ansary .
It remains to be seen whether
the two sects will engage in
rivalry due to differences in
belief and understanding of Islam
or they will work together
according to Boko Haram's
commander in charge of suicide
mission, Abu Fatima.
