| [Iran Press TV] Hundreds of people in Nigeria's northeastern city of Maiduguri have been forced to escape as 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... Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... turbans get closer, residents say. Speaking on condition of anonymity, the residents said on Friday that the city, which is the capital of Borno state, has witnessed a chaotic situation in recent days, with some refugees coming from other cities and the residents fleeing it. In recent weeks, Boko Haram has seized more towns and villages, and has brought large parts of Nigeria's northeast under its control. Earlier this week, the turbans attacked and captured Bama, the second-largest city in Borno, warning that their next target is Maiduguri. The Nigerian Emergency Management Agency has announced that almost 26,500 people fled Bama to Maiduguri this week, joining some 12,000 who beat feet from the town of Gwoza that was seized by Boko Haram two weeks ago. Nearly 650,000 Nigerians have fled their homes due to Boko Haram attacks and are displaced inside the country, while thousands more have taken refuge in neighboring countries, the United Nations ...an organization originally established to war on dictatorships which was promptly infiltrated by dictatorships and is now held in thrall to dictatorships... High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) says. |
