Boko Haram Insurgency the boko haram insurgency is an islamic group that right now trying to overthrow Nigeria’s government and make Nigeria an islamic state based on sharia law. Sharia law is an islamic legal system and acts as a code of what all muslims should do which includes prayers, fasting and donating to the poor. How does it connect. These connect because if you look at it during the boer war Britain was essentially trying to get rid of South Africa and own it themselves which is exactly what the Boko haram insurgency is doing to Nigeria right now. The whole reason the Boko  “invaded” nigeria is because they felt that they were not islamic enough.  Obviously with The boer war Britain wanted to invade because South Africa had the richest gold fields .

Throughout the entire boer war only Great britain's voice mattered. Great britain had already had a huge military consisting of !5,000 troops while south africa had 5,000 troops. The boer’s army was extremely well skilled for being so small and considering they were winning for a lot of the war but in the end the majority of countries were under British rule so they already had a lot more resources and people supporting them. Also imperial forces would tried to deny the boer’s food and water. Canadian troops would burn the boers houses down and moved people into internment camps.

The core message is that back then people could not have a care in the world for people as long as they were getting money or any kind of benefit. Although the boers were under British rule it doesn't mean you can start a whole war over gold rich’s and not even think about all the people you are hurting. It also shows that if you are not white then you don’t deserve to live especially when british troops were putting women and children in internment camps just because they wanted to win.Now we all understand that if it’s not on your land do not take it or anything from it.
