There is a hierarchy of terrorist

groups in terms of those who

work with the U.S. and France,

and those who don't.

Why the choice of North western targets in Nigeria? Is the North West, rather than the North east, the main source of the scourge of Boko Haram/Islamic terrorism all these years in Nigeria?

Can someone enlighten us about these questions?

Food for Thought: 

"I myself do not judge a man [or a woman] by  the color of his [or her] skin. The yardstick that I use to judge a man [or a woman] is his [ or her] deeds, his [her] behavior,  and his [or her] intentions. I have always kept an open mind, which is necessary to the flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of intelligent search for truth. And, every time you let someone stand on your head and you don't do anything about it, you are not acting with intelligence and should not be on this earth—you won't be on this earth very long either." -- Malcolm X.
