UK pledges $250 million in humanitarian aid for Nigeria
[Ynet] Britannia's foreign secretary and aid chief have pledged more than $250 million in humanitarian support for northeastern Nigeria to help build stability after destruction by Boko Haram... 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... 's Lion of Islam insurgency. The emergency relief package builds on $128 million given in humanitarian support in 2017. Boko Haram's eight-year insurgency has killed more than 20,000 people and left millions displaced in Nigeria and neighboring countries. Britannia says more than 1.5 million people in Nigeria are on the brink of famine. The new aid is meant to restore key infrastructure and services, improve health care and education and help farmers.
