Scott Perry’s accusation against USAID regarding funding terrorist organizations like Boko Haram stems from his claims that U.S. taxpayer money, specifically through aid like the $136 million allocated to building schools in Pakistan, is being funneled to groups such as ISIS, Al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram. He argues that this funding is indirectly supporting terrorist activities, though no evidence has been presented to confirm these specific claims.
Regarding the designation of Boko Haram, it is officially recognized as a terrorist organization by the U.S. government and other international bodies. The group is known for its violent insurgency in Nigeria and its affiliation with ISIS. Boko Haram has been responsible for numerous attacks, including bombings, kidnappings, and mass killings.
