aspects of the
extensive bilateral security relationship, as well as all other
assistance programs, with Nigeria," he said. "The US
government is committed to the long tradition of partnership with
Nigeria and will continue to engage future requests for
cooperation and training."

Boko Haram, which now
controls an area the size of Slovakia, became widely known to the
public last spring after kidnapping nearly 300 female students in
northeast Nigeria. The US Department of State designated Boko
Haram as a Foreign Terrorist Organizations in November 2013,
despite it being operational from 2002.

In addition to mass murders in the ongoing and brutal campaign
against Nigeria's military, government, and civilian targets,
Boko Haram engages in massive oil theft from the resource-rich
Niger Delta. It is estimated that national losses from oil theft
rose from 10,000 barrels a day to 100,000 during the past five
years ofthat the Greywings mutation survived as the ancestor of all actual Greywings. However, it could be that the mutation lay dormant in asymptomatic mutant specimens until it was re-established between 1918 and 1925. Blue Greywing specimens were produced later on in 1928.

It is possible that all Suffused mutation specimens and their varieties are descendants from the first captive mutant specimens. This would mean that Suffused is the oldest sudden captive-bred colour mutation of the Budgerigar species.
