Boko Haram massacre toll possibly 2000

[Malachite]

YOLA, Nigeria (AP) — Hundreds of bodies — too many to count — remain strewn in the bush in Nigeria from an Islamic extremist attack that Amnesty International suggested Friday is the "deadliest massacre" in the history of Boko Haram.

Mike Omeri, the government spokesman on the insurgency, said fighting continued Friday for Baga, a town on the border with Chad where insurgents seized a key military base on Jan. 3 and attacked again on Wednesday.

"Security forces have responded rapidly, and have deployed significant military assets and conducted airstrikes against militant targets," Omeri said in a statement.

District head Baba Abba Hassan said most victims are children, women and elderly people who could not run fast enough when insurgents drove into Baga, firing rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles on town residents.

"The human carnage perpetrated by Boko Haram terrorists in Baga was enormous," Muhammad Abba Gava, a spokesman for poorly armed civilians in a defense group that fights Boko Haram, told The Associated Press.

He said the civilian fighters gave up on trying to count all the bodies. "No one could attend to the corpses and even the seriously injured ones who may have died by now," Gava said.

An Amnesty International statement said there are reports the town was razed and as many as 2,000 people killed.

If true, "this marks a disturbing and bloody escalation of Boko Haram's ongoing onslaught," said Daniel Eyre, Nigeria researcher for Amnesty International.

These savages must be contained! If this continues, Nigeria will implode.

Irony is these fucktards will all burn in hell, but they need little bit of help getting there so lets give them all Colombian neckties. There is nothing more dangerous than retarded psychopaths who have misconstrued perception of the words of Allah.

There are going to be elections in february. The leaders of the Muslim North seemed to have turned a blind eye to the group when they started small, attacking Christians after the 2011 elections when Goodluck Jonathan won against Buhari. When GJ turned cruel against the demoniacs, "Emirs" and Buhari's friends were the first to cry out against the "Harassment of fellow Muslims." Today, you'll hardly hear of Christians being killed in the North. The monster has become become too big and it has started eating the hands that fed it as innocent Muslims fry in the fat made for them by Emirs and populist Muslim politicians.

That's why i hate it when politicians come to defend terrorists in the name of religion.

The Muslims of Northern Nigeria shot themselves in the foot when they tolerated the presence of Boko Haram for YEARS, as they allowed this destructive group to grow and become stronger. Their animosity towards the Christians of Southern Nigeria led the Muslims to turn a blind eye to Boko Haram's atrocities.

And now Boko Haram is slaughtering whole villages of Muslims in the North. This is what happens when you cooperate with Khawaarij-style terrorists. They'll feed off of your generosity and then come after you once they're done.

I hope my Nigerian Muslim brothers grow a spine, and rid themselves of this cancer once and for all. Anyone who supports Boko Haram, financially or even verbally, should be immediately executed. Anyone who knows information about Boko Haram, but refuses to share it to the Police, should be executed. Anyone who refuses to "snitch" on someone who's a member of Boko Haram, should be executed.

This is war. And Nigeria should be prepared to wage war against these people. Finish them off once and for all, and don't hold any restraint against them.

They deserve to be punished for their crimes. Matter of fact, members of groups like these deserve to be shot on encounters.

[GAMES]

These Boko Haram folks are truly fucked up.

Elements within the Nigerian military are supporting them.

Elements within the Nigerian military are supporting them.

A huge section of the Nigerian Army is made up of Fulanis and Hausas who are Northern Muslims. Coupled with corruption and Indiscipline among the officers, this is a sure recipe for failure when combating terrorist who have the backing of Muslim leaders.

Today, about 65 people are feared dead after a suicide bomber attacked Maidiguri. Of course, over 95% of those who died are Muslims.

These Northern Nigerian Muslims are enabling these Boko Haram thugs. It's sickening to see wallahi

I only learned of this via twitter today. Crazy.

I only learned of this via twitter today. Crazy.

That is because they're not White and their African government has little value for them. I saw that over one million people will be marching over the issue of the Paris shooting with over 30 world leaders attending. This is no news.

Now to something else...

Please take a look at this girl below, what do you see?


A cool girl. Very innocent - and beautiful to look at. Now, take a look at her again. What do you see?



A rural girl...still innocent though. Now take a look at her again....What do you see?



A girl ready for a suicide bombing mission. She's 13.

Her story is here..

The girl, who was identified as Zahra’u Babangida, was arrested in Kano on December 10 following a double suicide bombing in a market that killed 10 people.

She was presented to journalists by police and instructed to recount how Islamist militants allegedly forced her to take part in the attack.

She said her mother and father, both Boko Haram sympathisers, took her to an insurgent hideout in a forest near the town of Gidan Zana in Kano state.
She said one alleged militant leader asked her whether she knew what a suicide bombing was.

“They said, ‘Can you do it?’ I said no.
“They said, ‘You will go to heaven if you do it.’ I said ‘No I can’t.’ They said they would shoot me or throw me into a dungeon,” Zahra’u told journalists.

There was no way to independently verify her story and she had no lawyer present. No information was available concerning the whereabouts of her parents.

Police said they had instructed the girl to tell her story to boost public awareness about those responsible for the December 10 attack.

Faced with the threat of death, Zahra’u said she finally agreed to take part in the attack but “never had any intention of doing it.”

Several days later, Zahra’u said, she and three other girls, all wearing explosives, were brought to the Kantin Kwari market by unidentified men.

Zahra’u said she was injured when one of the girls detonated her bomb and then she fled the scene, ending up at a hospital on the outskirts of Kano where she was discovered to be carrying explosives.

Boko Haram has increasingly used female suicide bombers, including teenagers, as part of their five-year insurgency.

Kano, the largest city in the mainly Muslim north, saw four such attacks in one week in July, while similar bombings have hit the states of Bauchi and Niger.

Experts say the group has used girls as bombers to demonstrate the range of tactics they have available to sow fear across Nigeria.

If confirmed, Zahra’u’s story would be the first known case of parents volunteering their daughter to take part in a deadly attack.
Violence in northern Nigeria has intensified in recent months, raising security fears ahead of February 14 elections.

Christian militias in Central African Republic have carried out ethnic cleansing of the Muslim population during the country's ongoing civil war, but there is no proof there was genocidal intent, a United Nations commission of inquiry has said.

"Thousands of people died as a result of the conflict. Human rights violations and abuses were committed by all parties. The Seleka coalition and the anti-balaka are also responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity," the inquiry said on Thursday.

"Although the commission cannot conclude that there was genocide, ethnic cleansing of the Muslim population by the anti-balaka constitutes a crime against humanity," the report said.

The final report of the inquiry, which was submitted to the UN Security Council on December 19, said up to 6,000 people had been killed though it "considers that such estimates fail to capture the full magnitude of the killings that occurred".

The mostly Christian or animist "anti-balaka" militia took up arms in 2013 in response to months of looting and killing by mostly Muslim Seleka rebels who had toppled President Francois Bozize and seized power in March the same year.

The UN Security Council established the commission of inquiry in December 2013.

Preventing violence

In September 2014, the International Criminal Court opened an investigation into allegations of murder, rape and the recruiting of child soldiers in the Central African Republic.

Some 5,600 African Union peacekeepers, deployed in December 2013, and about 2,000 French troops have struggled to stem the violence in the impoverished landlocked country of 4.6 million people.

The United Nations took over the African Union peacekeeping mission in September and is mandated by the Security Council to double its size to nearly 12,000 troops and police.

The UN commission of inquiry said the deployment of the African Union peacekeepers, French troops and then the UN peacekeeping mission (MINUSCA) had "been primarily responsible for the prevention of an even greater explosion of violence".

Muslims being ethnically cleansed in central Africa by Christians ..but the media won't report that.. I wonder why that is.

[ManziWaMtaa]

I wonder why..

The answer is in the very article you have quoted:

The mostly Christian or animist "anti-balaka" militia took up arms in 2013 in response to months of looting and killing by mostly Muslim Seleka rebels who had toppled President Francois Bozize and seized power in March the same year.

This is the reason why Muslims will continue to be killed like flies in many Muslim countries by other Muslims. This attitude what has caused the Christian South to be extremely apathetic to what is going on in the north. When someone points out terrorist activities by Muslims, you come out to claim that Christians are doing this and that in CAR. You have no idea what caused the violence in CAR. In that country, Muslims were the aggressors in a country that they were a minority. Many of the Muslim aggressors were from Chad, who came through the gun and overthrew a Christian president. But then, the Seleka rebels started looting in Christian shops and home, while letting the Muslims shops be under the pretext of "Muslim solidarity." The kind of short-sighted Muslim solidarity I see everywhere there is violence.

The Christian majority backed the anti-balaka militia, armed with Machetes, and the the soldiers who had been overthrown, decided to retaliate on the Muslim community who had expressed solidarity. Funny enough, the word balaka means machete. Were it not for France's intervention, the Muslim brothers and sisteers would have been killed in much larger numbers.

The same thing I saw here about Mali. A person here was complaining that France had killed over 300 Muslims; but who were these Muslims killing? Were they not killing their fellow Muslims? Such logic now is what is being applied in Nigeria. For as long as Boko Haram restrict the murderous adventures in States Like Borno, Yobe and Adamawa where Christians are a minority, expect very little action from Abuja and Lagos. This is because attacking them and killing them, will attract sympathy from Muslims who'll say, "Even if they are wrong, they are our fellow Muslims."

How sickening?
