The use of Boko Haram should be removed.
I agree that Boko Haram is a criminal terrorist organization, and I agree that they have have several infamous acts to their credit. I do not agree that they have anything to do with counterfeit consumer goods.
This line should be removed and replaced with something credible "...such as Boko Haram, which achieved infamy in 2014 by kidnapping over 230 school girls which were then sold into slavery..."
There is no evidence that BH has used monies from the manufacture or sale of counterfeit goods. There is evidence that indicates BH has received financing from fundraising, internet fraud, kidnapping, and regional political and military cohorts.
The linking of BH with counterfeit consumer goods is not accurate and most probably part of a lobby effort. Perhaps there is some stretched linking of terrorism and counterfeit goods you could publish. For instance it's possible that counterfeit military parts are used in acts of aggression and defense from terrorism. The person owning this page should research that aspect, it would no doubt be more fruitful IMHO. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.241.122 (talk) 01:27, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
