I'm going to lay it out on the line and say, again to reiterate THIS IS MY VIEW ON WHY THIS DOESN'T GET THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES, people are worried that any government seen as "the white majority" is afraid that they will be seen as racist by saying that something should be done. I'm not saying they don't want to help, but if a white person in America were to say anything there is a very small, vary vocal group of people who will cry racist.

WOW AGAIN, read this- evidently we don't have to worry about ISIS joining Boko Haram

NBC News- Will RACISM keep ISIS from joining Boka Haram?

Quote from the link above:

"The Arab world is incredibly racist," explained a U.S. intelligence official. "They don't see black Africans as equivalent to them."

It just keeps getting more and more real every day.

As sad as it is, thats exactly the case in North Africa with the Janjaweed. Like it or not the US official called it correctly.

I understand the complicated political situation, that exists in Nigeria {along with years of a corrupt government}.
The difficult poltical climate, leadership issues and corruption, does not justify what is happening over there.

I have enjoyed reading everyone's thoughtful replies.

Agreed, nothing justifies terrorism but maybe, just maybe, if other nations refused to deal with corrupt leaders, things might change. Groups such as ISIL and Boko Harem recruit from the dissillusioned and the disenfranchised, for the most part.
