UPDATE: The dreaded Islamist Sect Boko Haram has again called on those living in the North to join the fight against the corporate entity call "Nigeria."
Boko Haram made the call few minutes ago through a man who claimed to be the Sect's spokesman in a telephone chat with Journalists from an unknown location. The group said it had "closed all possible doors of negotiation" with a government of "unbelievers" that it cannot trust, and called on
Muslims to join the fight against it.
The Sect claimed responsibility for the abrupt withdrawal of Alhaji Ahmed Datti from being the go-between between the Sect and the Government, saying the battle against Nigeria must be continued and won, while warning Nigeria security operatives to be ready for the new face of bloody offensive to begin soon.
The statement to local journalists in the sect's heartland of Maiduguri came two days after a Muslim cleric brokering initial peace talks pulled out, dimming hopes of a negotiated end to the insurgency.
"Almighty God has told us repeatedly that the unbelievers will never respect the promises they made. As such, henceforth, we will never respect any proposal for dialogue," Abu Qaqa, a shadowy figure who frequently communicates with journalists on the sect's behalf, said by phone in the northern Hausa language.
The group has said it wants to impose Islamic sharia law across a country split equally between Christians and Muslims.
"We are certain we will dismantle this government and establish Islamic government in Nigeria," Abu Qaqa said. "There is no doubt in our minds we will emerge victorious. We are calling on all Muslims in this part of the world to accept the clarion call and fight for the restoration of the Caliphate."
The departure of Datti Ahmed, a former ally of Boko Haram's founder, is a major blow for talks between government and the islamist sect which were only in their early stages, although some security sources doubt peace talks are possible with a sect so fragmented and radicalised.
The talks were aimed at ending months of bomb and gun attacks by Boko Haram that killed hundreds, mostly in the majority Muslim north, and have at times dominated Goodluck Jonathan's presidency.
