Sudan President Omar al-Bashir has alleged that the American and Israeli intelligence agencies are responsible for Boko Haram and Islamic State (ISIS) insurgency in Africa.
According to him, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israel’s national intelligence institute (Mossad) are behind Boko Haram and ISIS attacks in Africa.
Speaking to Euronews in an interview, al-Bashir said no Muslim could do what the sects do, suggesting that it was the intention of US and Israel to increase enmity against Islam.
“I said CIA and the Mossad stand behind these organisations; there is no Muslim who would carry out such acts,” he said.

The 25-year-long ruler of Sudan advised that the battle against ISIS and Boko Haram should not be confronted with military power alone, but also with ideological conversion of the radicals.
“Our policy has been largely successful; after we arrest these young people, we bring a group of young scholars to engage in dialogue with them about their thoughts, and we succeed to bring a lot of them back from their radical ideas,” he said.
Earlier, Lebanon’s Hezbollah group had also claimed that CIA and Mossad were behind the terrorist sects in Nigeria, Syria and Iraq.

The 71-year-old also spoke as regards the Human Rights Watch (HRW) that 200 women were raped and abused in Sudan, stating that the claims were “opposition-run and Israel funded”.
Al-Bashir took over power in June 1989 and has since ruled the north-eastern African country as its seventh president.

Give us evidence… Its not possible .. The people are Islamic people and they are their own enemies.. they kill both Muslims and Christians.
pls, what is the evidence u have dat dis people are Muslims
It is not incredible.I knew these problems were not only local but with foreign tunes. How else could they make money considering that their Economy is not looking up but to sell weapons. How can weapons be sold if there was no war? That is it,without Afrca,they can’t survive so they have to do something to always keep them around.
We know all these long b4, All-Bashir, but if the powerful elements understand that killing innocent pple created by GOD isn’t the best, let them join hand with us to invest in to our God given resources, they’ll benefit more, the world has enough to go round, with necessarily the massacre!
Read more about jews in the holy qur an ,just thank god if u are muslim my brother
Indeed, all these radical groups are not Islam-run or funded. But why do they always invoke Islam and tell the whole world that their intention is to islamise their captured territories.
It’s a propaganda war against Islam, the aim of which is to destroy religion and promote a Godless society that is easy to control. Most Christians, Jews, and even Buddhist have abandoned the true teachings of their faith and follow what their hearts desire and wishful thinking. It is only among Muslims that one would find true ahderents of the Abrahamic faith. Islam is the last true faith standing, and they are out to destroy it with a well orchestrated propaganda war.
IF in deed the Christians have abandoned the true faith, it therefore means that they once had a true faith in God, what makes u think the God that couldn’t defend the true faith, will defend ue so called true faith, viz Islam? Just a question!
Is CIA behind the beheadings and death by stoning through sharia courts in Sudan?
Americans can do anything to safeguard their interest including hurting their citizens talk less if they are not Americans
Those were punishments metted out on offenders, you can’t compare it to the massacre of innocent people.
It is not incredible,have they not done it before? All those sophisticated weapons and advance military tactise were not local.Ofcourse,it could not be without foreign under tunes. The Americans are are very crafty people,they can do anything to make the country’s economy look up again. Neo-colonialism is the word. They can’t survive without the African community thus,the devils can do anything to keep them around.
The U.S and Israel facilitate the arming, logistics and controls the leaders. But actually the ideology of sect they belong to are called the Khawarijites; they exist since the time of the fourth caliph Ali bin Abi Talib (r.a)
How can this be true? He just one of those embittered leaders fighting those who understands his devilish gimmicks. Al-Bashir is confused, those fanatics are there as thorn in the midst of some upright muslims… he should own up…
Its truly orchestrated by the so called world leaders why is US,UK, and other western powers are not campaigning for democracy in Saudi,Qatar Emirates etc bcos the govt there favours them by the time Nigeria overcomes boko haram u see shall the revelations . Dont for Margaret Thatcher once said “if there is no war or crisis we shall create one”
Well, nothing is impossible this days.. However we need evidence to confirm the info. as we can’t depend on grapevine…. So furnish us with the facts
I respect Muslim but I ask what is the origin ?.who was the first Muslim?.If you read the bible you could trace the origin of Christianity even if some crooks in Christendom corrupted its teachings with greed for wealth.if you listen to a typical Muslim lecture in lagos they teach with some level of anger and so Much loud noise.the question is that not all even understand what is thought so how will they act in line with the doctrine?all I know is that we are in the last days soon world govt will attack Christendom and Muslim because both has brought untold pains to humanity.
Facts u wanted no problem goggle Julius Assange of wikileaks on boko haram in nigeria . Too add more between BH and ISIS who commited the more why is the west have not come to bombard BH all these while but immediately run after isis? And lastly when a free and fair election was conducted in Egypt that brought in Muslim Brotherhood why did the west supported coup d’etat against a legitimate democracy .
If you wish to understand what Al-Bashir said, endeavour to read CONFESSION OF AN ECONOMIC HITMAN written by an American. The world is complex and men are more complex.
Does who are after GEJ will be put to shame. Very soon the enemies of Good luck administration and Nigerians will be unmasked.
As for pple who need prove: American Govt sponsored Saddam to annihilate Ayotollah n invade Iran 4 d reason of diverting its crude to d states n sale its Arms to Saddam.Later on when the USA fabricated Iraq nuclear drama with the soul purpose of its oil those same weapons given to Saddam by USA was used against USA. In d real sence we have many countries with nuclear war heads or (WMD) Weapons of mass destruction, even Syria, south Africa, Israel etc has it y dint America attack them? its because they r Ally or they don’t have crude.
I said this long ago about America’s connection with boko haram but it sounded foolish.
1.America came with their equipment to rescue chibok girls…. Along the line they left without showing us their satchlight findings.
2.America asked to head our armforce/military before they will accept to fight boko haram…. Would their leadings have spared or trashed boko haram?
3.America refused to sell their weapons to Nigeria to fight boko haram, why? After all we were going to pay them.
4.America started selling their oil not because they had sufficient oil but just to frustrate Nigerian goverment and economy.
5.Now they have come to fight boko haram just to clear the world’s suspecion of their connection with boko haram. We should be careful.
6.Where PDP and APC are battling for the seat of presidency, why should obama’s firm secretly be consulting for any (apc)
7.Why should America be planning secretly with Jega to manipulate the election and come over to America to announce Buhari winner.
Who told you America loves Nigeria? They only get involved for their own wicked, devilish and selfish gains.
America is sponsoring boko haram. Where is boko haram getting their money even weapons?
If US and Isreely could only suceeded in making weapons of violence and distruction of the Muslim men/women then something must be wrong with Islam.
So the muslim leaders all over the world should take a critical look at their men and women, holy books and scholars to answer the questions, why men and women from other confessing faith were not usable but that of muslem.
Noting that 99% of wether IS, Alqada, Boko etc are either practicing muslem or of muslem parent/community.
You are forgetting the time when the Romans (the super power of those days) were persecuting the Christians, hunting them down in every nook & corner of the world, burning them alive and bring some back to Rome for sport (throwing them to the lions)? Was there anything wrong with the Christian men & women then or with their religious books? In fact, the Christians of those days were the true believers, and that was their only crime.
Why Islam? Because Islam is the true Religion that was sent to All human being on earth, a true Musleam always abide by the rule of Islam Unlike other faith that neglect the Abraham faith
Some of the comments I have read so far range from ignorant, absurd, to idiotic reasoning. FORGIVE ME. Is Boko haram the origin of Islamic Fundamentalism in Nigeria? From the era of Maitatsine, the Taliban group and numerous slaughtering episodes of Christians in northern Nigeria through the decades, it was ok for Nigerian muslim leaders. All they have ever said each time was for peace to reign after gruesome massacre of tens and hundreds of souls. No one I know has been convicted for any of these mindless massacres before now. al-Bashir himself has been a known sponsor of the ‘Janjaweed’ terror group against southern Sudanese even as part of the country because they are predominantly none muslim. This terror group known in English as ‘Devils On Horse Back’ beheaded, slaughtered women & children, raped children & disemboweled pregnant women, a fact no lees terrible than ISIS phenomenon. Same al-Bashir approved the sentencing of a woman to death for marrying a non-muslim man. World-wide condemnation saved the woman. I feel disgusted when known blood thirst human speak like al-Bashir. It would have made a little sense to me if al-Bashir had started by admitting that he has perpetrated and sponsored terror himself. I STOP HERE FOR NOW
Why would someone in his sensible and real state of mind choose to take arm against his fellow men either African or non and blame America for it, they give you gun, you accept it, its your choice man not America. Did you ever see white American among
Al-Basheer who is he? he does not run the country just compares there is organisation of International Muslim brother hood in Sudan they are the one who run the country. Al-Basheer and Muslim brother hood organisation have direct link to CIA and Mosad. Sudan is passing point for all the weapons coming from the west, Qatar, Turkey and Saudi Arabia that happened during Libya war against Qaddafi and Somali Al-Shabab, Boko Haram, LRA, Tawareq of Mali and Niger, Egypt Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas of Palestine and so on they are every where because they love to be used by their masters. Al-Basheer he separated Sudan into 2 countries and committed genocide against his own people in Darfur and Blue Nile, he destroyed the biggest agriculture project in the country he dismantlement the Army and formed Militia mixed of Sudanese of arab origin and mercenaries from all over Chad, Mali, Niger and Mauritanian. The issue in Sudan was never been issue of religion as much as it is issue of race and hidden agenda of the west, Middle east and Muslim brotherhood. Al-Basheer regime acting like a massive spy agency in Africa employed by CIA, that’s why Al-Basheer will never be a threat to the west or their agenda.
@ RHOs There is nothing wrong with the religion (Islam). And there is nothing that will wrong Islam, nothing at all. Allah in His infinite mercy promised to safeguard His religion and the Holy book (Al-qur’an) and He has kept His promise. The qur’an remained thesame and unchanged since from the time of d prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) to date. Nobody can temper it, nobody at all.
There are bad eggs in every society and religion so also in islam. These people (bad eggs) embrace islam or are born muslim but they lack faith in islam & those not follow the teachings of islam. There are some that externally act, behave and engage themselves to d teachings of islam bt internally they are not muslims, they do hide there real faith, they bring misconceptions about islam and tries to distort the image of islam i.e the orientalist. Islam is against BH because they do not follow the teachings of islam and a real n genuine muslim is also against BH and can not act the way they do. As islam is concern, BH are in the wrong path. Allah (S.W.A) will not leave them, they will surely pay for what they did. May Allah protect us from their evil act, Ameen.
yes, we have heard Al-Bashir what we need is proof, facts or let African leaders shut up because they are complicit in this atrocities being committed. when they are on their throne they say nothing but when they become the hunted they grow a conscience
Your comment..the actual problem is that without war how can the united state and Israel sell their weapons, they created such agony act just to get ways of their incomes
Your comment..western countries are quietly destroy African countries, because once African countries know how to manage their resources all western countries should be und develops.
Your right.
It is funny how some muslims destroy the world and somehow other muslims still blame others for the destruction, its quite ridiculous. Now you guys are saying US is sponsoring Boko Haram. To all the muslim brothers here, isn’t Jihad in your holy book???
This is not the jihad.Let talk like an intellect.If one does not know, read more sources of information.
