Major General (Rtd) James Marks alias "Spider" (photo.CNN) is a well known CNN military analyst. He is also recognised as a man that never holds back his usually, frank, blunt and highly controversial opinions on global events and issues.
On a recent CNN broadcast, Spider was asked why Western powers, especially the US are not doing much to stamp out the Nigerian terrorist organization, Boko Haram.
Spider responded that as far as the US government is concerned West Africa or what he called "Black Africa" is not a priority. If it were North Africa or what he called "White Africa", the response would have been different, he added.
Nic Robertson, a respected CNN who was also on that show pointed out that Boko Haram is receiving a massive number of deadly weapons from North Africa especially Libya, which is now a failed state after the elimination of Muamarr Gaddafi a couple of years ago.
