The NEFA Foundation has obtained a communiqué from Al-Qaida's network in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) titled "The Annihilation of the Muslims in Nigeria; A New Episode in the Continuous Crusade War", in which AQIM emir Abu Musab Abdul Wadud told the Nigerian people, "We are ready to train your children to use weapons and will supply them with all we can, including support and men, weapons, ammunitions and equipment, in order to defend our people in Nigeria and respond against the aggression of the Christian minority.
So, push your children to the fields of preparation and jihad to form the vanguards to fight for and defend against the blood and honors of Muslims in Nigeria, which resists the declared Crusader war."
He added, "Brothers and beloved ones in Nigeria, the path to salvation away from these continuous massacres against you by the Christian minority, and the only solution to gain back your rights and resources, and the legitimate way that will secure your faith, pride and presence before this wicked Crusader war practiced against you, is to take matters using force, which is represented in preparation and jihad for the sake of Allah, and a good example for you to follow is the experience of your brothers in Somalia who resisted against the Crusader Ethiopia..."
