I would be unsurprised if the majority of these "religious extremists" are in fact terrorists-for-hire. The whole set up smacks of being manipulated to bolster anti-islamic sentiment and further western interests in Africa.

It's certainly being taken advantage of to that end, anyway... People not only welcoming intended military expeditions into African countries, but actively INVITING them. Hmm.

Remember the whole "Kony" charade. Yeah. That.
