At least 8 dead after female suicide bombers hit camps in Nigeria
 [AlAhram] At least eight people are dead after ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... bad boy insurgency. The attack started late Sunday night and left another 15 people maimed, front man Bello Danbatta with the Civilian-JTF group told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named. The Nigeria-based bad boy group Boko Haram often targets the city with suicide bombers and increasingly has been using female ones. Nigeria's government late last year declared the group "crushed" but dozens of such attacks have been carried out this year. The latest bombings occurred a few days after Nigeria's army chief of staff issued a 40-day deadline for troops to flush out Boko Haram's leader and finish off the bad boy group. Danbatta said one bomber sneaked into the Dalori camp and detonated, and two other attackers went kaboom!on or near the camp's perimeter fence. Another bomber detonated early Monday morning. Thousands of people continue to shelter in camps after being forced from their homes by Boko Haram. The bad boy group's eight-year insurgency has killed more than 20,000 people, kidnapped thousands of others, spilled into neighboring countries and created one of the world's largest humanitarian crises. Nigeria is moving closer to famine, with more than 5 million people expected to face "crisis, emergency and famine conditions" by the end of August as the lean season continues, the Norwegian Refugee Council said in a statement Monday. The unrest has disrupted farming and access to markets in the region. Posted by: trailing wife 2017-07-25 |
