At African Views organization we feel obligated by the virtue of our charitable designation to support the global campaign for the safe return of the abducted girls from Government College in Chibok as well as the apprehension of Boko Haram. Since our strength and our core capabilities are rooted in research and communication for transformative strategies, we have conducted extensive research and produced a report based on mosaic analysis to better explicate the complexity of ideology and principles behind Islamic jihadist incubator in northern Nigeria as well as the environmental condition that encourages it.
Topics covered in the report include:
· The Role of ethnicity and religion in Nigerian Politics:
· Making Sense of it all (Chibok girls' abduction - What does it all mean?):

On Sunday May 18, 2014, at 12PM EST African Views' Family and Social Life Team will connect analysts from Africa, UK and the US, and welcome any member of the public from anywhere who has something to say on the topics to discuss the ongoing kidnapping rescue campaign and collectively seek deep insight and new perspectives into the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram and the hostage situation in Nigeria on AV Teleforum.
Here are some outstanding questions and thoughts to be discussed during the program:
· Why has Boko Haram attacked Chibok and abducted the girls?
· How is Boko Haram funded?
· To what extent is the government to blame in Boko Haram's development?
· Is a similar pattern of abductions being recognized in the Northern Uganda crisis with Joseph Koni, and Charles Tailor of Liberia and Sierra Leone?
· Nigerian government's lack of well-established emergency measures against terrorism is a permanent weakness that can be exploited at will?
·
