“In an unprecedented move, the US has posted up to $23m in rewards to help track down five leaders of armed groups active in West Africa. The highest reward of $7mn was offered on Monday for the Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who last week called on those sympathetic in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq to join the fight to create an Islamic-governed state in Nigeria. The State Department’s Rewards for Justice programme also targeted al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), offering its first ever bounties for wanted fighters in West Africa.”
