Since the movers
of Boko Haram think of books as “haram,” it is most unlikely that they, being
illiterate, can comprehend, and therefore are likely to read this tribute to
the young woman whom they have killed, Hauwa Liman. And so, this is not
directed at them.
They cannot read. In any case, one must address a
community of humans, those who share human traits; who have the natural human,
and healthy instinct for empathy. It takes a subhuman freak, and a deadly form
of misanthropy, to take another life. Members of the Boko Haram movement are
not human.
