Jahwn "concerned" about abuses by Nigerian Army
2013-05-25
The guy's always concerned. He always looks concerned
The United States is concerned about what it says are "continuing" human rights abuses by Nigerian security forces in their fight against Islamic militants. It is part of the agenda of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry at the African Union summit in Ethiopia.
Did Jahwn ever express any concern over the human rights abuses of the Islamic militants? You know, blowing up churches and stuff?

This is right out of the socialist playbook -- it's always the government that is wrong when it tries to protect people from 'militants', and never the fault of the murderers and boomers.
When Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan announced a state of emergency against Boko Haram militants earlier this month, U.S. officials expressed concern about a "heavy-handed" response by some security forces in northern communities.

Briefing reporters ahead of Kerry's talks here at the African Union summit, a senior State Department official said Washington has monitored the conduct of Nigerian forces during this state of emergency and concludes that human rights abuses are continuing.
