ACTIVITIES of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram, may get worse given revelations that the group is sharing funds and swapping explosives with two other terrorist organisations in Africa.

Commander of the U.S. military’s Africa Command, General Carter Ham, said indication of cooperation between Boko Haram, al Shabaab in East Africa, and Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb could signal a dangerous escalation of security threats on the continent.

The three organisations are said to be the continent’s most violent and they are believed to be sharing money and explosive materials while training fighters together.

Reuters reports on Monday quoted Ham as saying, “Each of those three organisations is by itself a dangerous and worrisome threat.

“What really concern me are the indications that the three organisations are seeking to coordinate and synchronise their efforts. That is a real problem for us and for African security in general.”
