South African Broadcasting Agency: USS’s failures to recognize Boko Haram


Kamala Harris pleads for aid to Nigeria, US’s long time partners


Delegates in the USS are currently engaging in crisis, yet it seems like the senate is fractured and extremely unproductive. Many delegates are failing to realise that Boko Haram is a recognised threat by the USA, declaring them as terrorists.

Kamala Harris has pleaded with council to reconcile with the fact that this is no small threat and that Nigeria has always been a key partner to the US. A strong proponent of eliminating Islamophobia, he says that Muslims are not the same as terrorists and extremists. Instead of spreading hatred towards Muslims, he confirms that there is a need to propogate the fact that extremist ideology in not limited or due to race, in hopes of preventing the issue from escalating to a point where it becomes domestic terrorism. Social Justice Warriors are what some delegates have been calling themselves and SABC hopes that USA will aid Africa.

Speaking of aid, Kamala has also already promised aid to Nigeria - in view that Nigeria has been a long time friend of the US. We hope that fellow senators will heed Kamala’s call to action, to help Nigeria in their time of need. In order for debate to progress, senators really need to wake up and realise that Boko Haram is a terrorist organisation that the US has promised to defeat. Only then, can council actually come up with proper solutions to resolving the crisis.

Sitting in council brings SABC great fear, what lies ahead for Africa should the USS not come together to take action? One can only hope that all will end well.
