VOA News reporter Anne Look interviewed Yan St-Pierre on Boko Haram’s development in 2014:
“This is the year where Boko Haram became the real major threat in a region,” said the CEO of the Berlin-based security firm MOSECON, Yan St-Pierre, who monitors Boko Haram.
“They’ve evolved strategically. They’ve shown an inclination for ruthlessness that was unprecedented for them,” he said. “It’s not just kidnapping and murders or statistics, if you want to put it that way. What they’ve demonstrated… they’ve become a full-fledged criminal organization with a good financial structure with a good tactical structure, and this is the most dangerous part.”
