Bit on/off-topic but since was looking into AQAP after hearing something yesterday (well more so AQ in Yemen but yeah) and decided to look into Boko Haram today, and by look I mean read wikipedia by the way so look is a bit misleading. ANYWAYS apparently, from the sounds of it, both have increased their power and/or recruited followers by taking advantage of poor people, unemployed people, and the such.

So making Yemen/Parts of Africa/AP/etc. not shit, you'd destroy a couple terrorist groups likely. Much much easier said then done though.
