Boko Haram has officially announced an alliance with the Islamic State (ISIS), according to an audio message.
The BBC reported on March 7, 2015, that a fresh recording was uploaded to Boko Haram Twitter handle.
The statement allegedly belongs to the leader of Boko Haram, Abubakar Shekau, who pledged allegiance to the richest and, probably, most powerful terrorist group in the world.
Its authenticity may be confirmed later after a more detailed study by specialists.
However, this move by the Nigerian insurgents is very likely, as Boko Haram has been suffering numerous defeats in the last few weeks and keeps losing territories.
