Cornelius,
Israelis and Arabs belong to the same Semitic tribes. It seems to me they are prone to violence.
If you care to read their religious history particularly the Bible they were warlike people. They never lived in peace with themselves. And yet they claimed to come from Abraham.
African countries are unstable for many reason namely, the incursion of the west to the continent and the improper partitioning of the continent, leadership and poor governance, corruption, ignorance and poverty among others.
There cannot be peace in the Middle-East and North Africa which is illegally occupied by the Arabs until they have respect for their common historical background.
Segun Ogungbemi.

--Wofaase Cornelius:
Was the leader of Boko Haram not liquidated some time ago? I understand that was why the group has been very bitter and utterly destructive.
In terms of Egypt and Israel, try to read former U.S. President Jimmy Carter's book, which calls for true peace in the Middle East but not apartheid.
Also, while Israel seems to be a lot more stable (maybe due to is unified religiosity), Egypt -- like many African countries -- is unstable and volatile. That is why it is laughable when some people want Egypt to be seen as a non-African (but an entirely Arab) country! Can there be a coup d'état in Israel? I doubt it! That is part of the way of comparing the two democracies!

How long should it take to officially confirm or deny the rumour.Would it have been better to take him as a prisoner of war? (No harm meant, Ignoramus was only asking)
