Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Fwd : ISIS announces New Leader of Boko Haram

"What concerns me is the break-off group of Boko Haram, which wants to be more ISIL-like, and consequently

 buy into the ISIL-brand of attacking western interests."

Well for sure  the general is also concerned about the wanton use of little girls as suicide bombers by the Shekau faction. 

Each of these factions is as deadly and repulsive as the next.

 That ISIS appointed  one  al-Barnawi as the new leader of Boko Haram,  against the wishes of  the Shekau faction,  is  a new twist in

the bloody saga. Is ISIL trying to build a  corridor between  its new bases in Libya  and Nigeria?

There are reports of a split within Boko Haram over the issue of the affiliation to the Islamic State. Perhaps this is part of that split.
