Ex-US ambassador to Nigeria speaks about Boko Haram

The former American ambassador to Nigeria speaks out about Boko Haram terrorism.
       Robin Sanders said Boko Haram remains a major threat and is changing its tactics.
 She criticizes the inaction of the Multinational Joint Task Force and its lack of funding.
      Boko Haram terrorism continues to plague Nigeria, killing dozens every week in a murderous campaign unlikely to end anytime soon.
Just this week, two female suicide bombers blew themselves up and killed more than 70 people in Borno state.
The double suicide attack, which also wounded nearly 80 others, targeted a camp for internally displaced persons.
The bombings occurred in the town of Dikwa, some 80km northeast of Maiduguri, the birthplace of the armed Boko Haram group, which is fighting to create an Islamic state in Nigeria.
Speaking with Al Jazeera, former US ambassador to Nigeria Robin Sanders spoke about Boko Haram’s changing strategy as Nigeria’s military pushes the group out of areas it once controlled.
Al Jazeera: Are we seeing a resurgence of violent attacks by Boko Haram?
Sanders: I think what we’re seeing is a difference in tactics. Boko Haram learns very quickly. They’ve moved a little bit from asymmetrical warfare, which the government was actually successfully trying to hinder in December, early January, to these guerrilla attacks that you see happening now – very similar in style to what Al Shabab is doing in East Africa.
So you do see this transition taking place and I think that the Nigerian army is going to have to adapt.
