The Washington Post quotes Africa Center Director J. Peter Pham on gains made by the terrorist organization Boko Haram in Nigeria:
Boko Haram “is rapidly gaining ground in Africa,” J. Peter Pham, director of the Africa Center at the Atlantic Council, wrote last month, “achieving many of the same operational and strategic successes that have made [the extremist group Islamic State] such a force to be reckoned with, including significant dominion over territory and populations.”
