'I'm Not Dead!' - Shekau Releases New Video, Debunks Military Claims!!!

The leader of the Boko Haram sect, Abubakar Shekau (or his clone), who is said to have been killed by Nigerian (or Cameroonian) troops last month is alive. And he wants the world to know.

A new video released through the regular channels has shown his face, and he is vocally debunking the stories of his death, and he has added that he is still in the business of making a Caliphate out of Nigeria.

The AFP says the video is 36-minutes long. "Here I am, alive. I will only die the day Allah takes my breath," Shekau cackled, adding that his administration was still "running...a Caliphate" and administering the punishments as prescribed by Sharia law.

There had been previous skepticism (by observers of the Northern insurgency) over the death of the man known as Shekau when it was reported last month. In the new video, Shekau wore combat fatigues and black rubber boots, and he was standing on the back of a pickup truck, shooting into the air with his anti-aircraft gun.

It is unclear where the video was shot. He spoke for 16 minutes in two languages: Arabia and Hausa.
The heavily bearded man, who looks not unlike the previous Shekaus in older videos has rubbished the military's claim that he had been killed, calling it propaganda.

"Nothing will kill me until my days are
over… I'm still alive. Some people asked
you if Shekau has two souls. No, I have
one soul, by Allah," he said, apparently
reading from a script.
"It is propaganda that is prevalent. I have
one soul. I'm an Islamic student.
"I'm the Islamic student whose seminary
you burnt… I'm not dead," he added,
apparently referring to the destruction of
the group's mosque in the Borno state
capital, Maiduguri, in 2009.

"We are running our caliphate, our
Islamic caliphate. We follow the Koran…
We now practice the injunctions of the
Koran in the land of Allah," he said.
The group also claimed to have shot
down a Nigerian air force jet that went
missing nearly three weeks ago.

South Korea becomes first East Asian Country to Legalize Medical Marijuana

South Korea has become the first east Asian country to legalise medical cannabis in a surprising move to expand the treatment options for patients with epilepsy and other rare diseases in the conservative country. The country’s national assembly approved amending the Act on the Management of Narcotic Drugs on Friday to allow non-hallucinogenic doses of medical marijuana. Still, using weed even for medical purpose will be strictly controlled with patients required to apply to the Korea Orphan Drug Centre, a government body facilitating patient access to rare medicines, after receiving a doctor’s prescription. Approval will be granted on a case-by-case basis, according to the country’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.
