Boko Haram leader denies ceasefire deal, says 200 abducted girls married off
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
NEW: "The road to peace is bumpy," Nigerian official says after video's release
Boko Haram's leader says no ceasefire deal, despite Nigeria's announcement
"We married them off," the leader, Abubakar Shekau, says of the abducted girls
Video claims contradict those assertions made in talks, a Nigerian official says
(CNN) -- Boko Haram laughed off Nigeria's announcement of a ceasefire agreement, saying there is no such deal and schoolgirls abducted in April have been converted to Islam and married off.
Nigerian officials announced two weeks ago that they had struck a deal with the Islamist terror group.
The deal, the government said, included the release of more than 200 girls whose kidnapping at a boarding school in the nation's north stunned the world.
"We married them off. They are in their marital homes," he said, chuckling.
The group's leader also denied knowing the negotiator with whom the government claimed it worked out a deal, saying he does not represent Boko Haram.
"We will not spare him and will slaughter him if we get him," he said of the negotiator.
It wasn't clear when the video was made.
Mike Omeri, coordinator of Nigeria's National Information Centre, told CNN on Saturday that these assertions contradict those made in conversations in which the Nigerian government has been involved.
Omeri said Nigeria's government will do everything possible to verify the claims made in the video.
"We've heard about the video, and we can say the road to peace is bumpy -- and you cannot expect otherwise," Omeri said. "Nigeria has been fighting a war, and wars don't end overnight."
Nigerian officials met with Boko Haram in Chad twice during talks mediated by Chadian President Idriss Deby, according to the aide.
The ceasefire deal announced October 17 followed a month of negotiations with representatives of the group, said Hassan Tukur, an aide to Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.
After the deal was announced, the aide said final negotiations on the girls' release would be completed at a meeting a week later in Chad.
A video of Abubakar Shekau, who claims to be the leader of the Nigerian Islamist extremist group Boko Haram, is shown in September 2013. Boko Haram is an Islamist militant group waging a campaign of violence in northern Nigeria. The group's ambitions range from the stricter enforcement of Sharia law to the total destruction of the Nigerian state and its government.

In the video, Shekau talked not of peace but of more violence -- promising more "war, striking and killing with gun."
This strategy appears to be playing out in parts of Nigeria, where Boko Haram fighters have continued deadly attacks on villages despite government claims of a ceasefire. More people have been abducted and scores killed in recent weeks, including one attack a day after the ceasefire that left eight dead.
Days later, members of the Islamist terror group abducted at least 60 young women and girls from Christian villages in northeast Nigeria, residents said Thursday.
Heavily armed fighters left 1,500 naira, or about $9, and kola nuts as a bride price for each of the women abducted, residents said.
For its part, the Nigerian government isn't backing down.
Rather, it is stepping up its military campaign against militants and criminals in some parts of the West African nation, Nigeria's defense ministry said on Saturday.
The military claimed its airstrikes and ground operations have repelled attacks against civilians in Adamawa and Borno, two of the states in northeastern Nigeria that have been strongholds and frequent targets for Boko Haram.
Officials are "studying" the latest video, even as the military continues to recognize the talks aimed at assuring the release of the kidnapped schoolgirls, the ministry said.
Boko Haram, whose name translates to "Western education is sin" in the Hausa language, is trying to impose strict Sharia law across Nigeria, which is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south. Like ISIS, it has ambitions for a caliphate, or religious state.
The group's attacks have intensified in recent years in an apparent show of defiance for the nation's military onslaught. Its ambitions appear to have expanded to the destruction of the government.
As part of its insurgency, it has bombed schools, churches and mosques, kidnapped women and children and assassinated politicians and religious leaders alike.
Boko Haram leader denies ceasefire deal, says 200 abducted girls married off By Faith Karimi and Aminu Abubakar, CNN November 2, 2014 -- Updated 1052 GMT (1852 HKT) 北朝鮮非難ビラに反発 南北会談困難に 韓国と北朝鮮は、今月初めまでに南北の高官会談を開くことで合意していましたが、韓国の市民団体が北朝鮮の体制を非難するビラを飛ばしたことに北朝鮮が強く反発し、高官会談の開催は難しくなりました。
北朝鮮は先月、キム・ジョンウン（金正恩）第１書記の側近らを韓国のインチョン（仁川）に派遣した際、韓国から提案されていた南北の高官会談に今月初めまでに応じると表明しました。
しかしその後、韓国の市民団体が北朝鮮の体制を非難するビラを風船に付けて軍事境界線の近くから北に向けて飛ばしたことに北朝鮮が強く反発し、１日出した声明で、ビラの散布を韓国政府が放任していると主張したうえで、「散布を中断しないかぎり、いかなる対話も関係改善もありえない」と警告しました。
これに対し韓国統一省の報道官は２日、声明を発表し、市民団体の活動を政府が妨げる法的な根拠がないと改めて指摘し、北朝鮮の姿勢について、「極めて遺憾だ。一方的な主張では何も得られないことを知らなければならない」と述べ、南北の高官会談は困難になったという認識を示しました。
統一省の報道官は、「今後については北の態度次第で対話の扉は開いている」としていますが、今のところ韓国側から新たな提案は行わないということで、いったんは対話に向けて動いた南北関係が再び冷え込む可能性が指摘されています。
