MUNICH (Reuters) – Fighters for the Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram
have been trained in Somalia on Africa’s eastern coast before returning to West
Africa, Somalia’s president told a security conference in Germany on Sunday.
Somalia, plagued by political in-fighting, corruption and attacks by al Shabaab
insurgents, has recently made limited progress towards creating a functioning
political system, President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud said.
“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) some time Boko Haram has been trained in Somalia and they went back to Nigeria,” he said.
