1. Boko Haram doesn't appear to pose as much a threat to our interests, plus

4. IMO they're part of the same thing.

Same ideology and also well-funded with new vehicles etc.

5. True. However, many of us are still interested in the fates of the missing

kidnapped girls and no one is reporting about it.

6. Me too.

But for some reason the MSM seems devoid of curiosity, common sense or independent thinking.
