[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Boko Haram ? Soldiers will stop and check all motorists passing through Maiduguri and nearby villages throughout the night  while police will take over manning checkpoints during the day  authorities said. The soldiers arrived late Tuesday night  the first sign of a federal government intervention in a city beset by targeted killings by Boko Haram for weeks.
 Zarewa also said police found the unexploded bombs after an alleged Boko Haram bomb attack on a police station in Gamboru  a building destroyed by rioting sect members in July 2009. The rioting  as well as a subsequent security crackdown  left more than 700 people dead.
 Followers of Boko Haram  which means "Western education is sacrilege" in the local Hausa language  went into hiding after the July 2009 riot  as police began arresting anyone caught listening to or holding a sermon by the sect. However  officials now fear the group has rearmed. A video recording released in late June showed a Boko Haram leader calling for new violence as the one-year anniversary of their attack neared.
 Boko Haram has said it wants a stricter version of Islam's Shariah law in place across Nigeria. Nigeria  a nation of 150 million people  is divided between the Christian-dominated south and the Muslim north. A dozen states across Nigeria's north already have Shariah law in place  though the area remains under the control of secular state governments.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hugo Chavez ? President Hugo Chavez suspended rolling blackouts in Venezuela's capital a day after they began and sacked his electricity minister  saying government officials imposed a rationing plan riddled with mistakes.
Caracas
 Chavez's announcement late Wednesday was a significant shift in his attempts to avoid a widespread power collapse in the coming months through rolling blackouts of up to four hours a day throughout the country. Other rationing measures are to remain in place  including outages in other areas.
 "I have ordered the electrical outages to be suspended  only in Caracas " Chavez said on state television. "Because this government has to be capable of recognizing mistakes made and fixing them in time."
 The rolling blackouts have been unpopular in a city already plagued by violent crime  traffic and trash-strewn streets  and opposition leaders accused Chavez on Thursday of backtracking to try to head off damage to his political support.
 But the president cited tactical errors instead  saying power was cut in the wrong sectors of the city in some cases.
 "I think in one area they repeated the outage a few hours later " he said. He added that some stoplights also went dark.
 "Enough. I said if that's what is going on  there was an error there " Chavez said.
 Chavez said he asked Electricity Minister Angel Rodriguez to resign and that "he has taken it like a soldier."
 Chavez said he ordered the blackouts "interrupted indefinitely" in Caracas and told the city's state electric utility not to schedule any more until the process is reviewed. It was unclear when or if the government may attempt to restart the measures.
 Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma  a Chavez opponent  said the government was forced to call off rationing in the metropolitan area of about 6 million people because it was highly unpopular. He urged Venezuelans to join a protest later this month against faulty public services  water and electricity rationing and a currency devaluation expected to drive up already-soaring inflation.
 Chavez announced he was calling off the blackouts in Caracas just hours after he urged Venezuelans to accept the cutbacks and likened them to a national energy diet. He called a late-night talk show to announce the change shortly before some parts of Caracas were to begin four-hour outages at midnight.
 Chavez has fended off criticism that his government has failed to complete enough power upgrades to keep up with increasing demand  saying the drought is the primary culprit and that his government is acting to extend the Guri Dam's capacity to feed the electrical grid. Rains are expected to return at the end of the traditional dry season in May.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Carles Puigdemont ? Catalan President Carles Puigdemont  said  he  favored mediation to find a way out of the crisis but that Spainâs central government had rejected this. Prime Minister Mariano Rajoyâs government responded by calling on Catalonia to âreturn to the path of lawâ first before any negotiations.
 Puigdemont  told the BBC  he  would ask the regionâs parliament to declare independence following the referendum  which Spainâs government and constitutional court say was illegal and in which only a minority of Catalans voted.
In a televised address on Wednesday night   Puigdemont  said: âThis moment calls for mediation. We have received various offers in the last hours and we will receive more.â
Without specifically mentioning plans for an independence declaration   he  added: âI am sure that in the next few days we will show the best of our country when the institutions of Catalonia will have to apply the results of the referendum.
Prime Minister Mariano Rajoyâs government replied that  Puigdemont  had wasted an opportunity to put Catalonia back on a legal course. âIf  Mr. Puigdemont  wants to talk or negotiate  or wants to send mediators   he  knows perfectly well what  he  must do first: Return to the path of the law â it said in a statement.
 Puigdemont  criticized Spainâs King Felipe VI who on Tuesday lambasted the âirresponsible behaviorâ of the Catalan leaders.
 He  said  the king  had disappointed many people in Catalonia by failing to call for dialogue and  he  accused King Felipe of endorsing the policies of Rajoy  which  he  said had been âcatastrophicâ for Catalonia.
