Abductions Near Town Where Students Were Grabbed Reflect Lack of ProtectionACCRA, Ghana—Nigeria's Islamist insurgency on Monday kidnapped some 20 girls just miles from a small town where the group abducted several hundred schoolgirls in April, local officials said, in an attack that exposed the military's absence in an area the president pledged to protect. The village of Garkin Fulani was preparing for its weekly market early Monday when Boko Haram fighters pulled up in a tractor trailer and began pulling young girls into the truck, said Adu Ibrahim, the area's chairman for a vigilante group called the Civilian Joint Task...

Nowhere safe for them to hide...

Report: Nigeria Has Largest Displaced Population in Africa
June 09, 2014 — A new report shows that Nigeria now has the largest internally displaced population in Africa, and the third largest in the world. In recent years, hundreds of thousands of people fled Boko Haram insurgents in the northeast but some families are returning to their homes, saying there is nowhere safe for them to hide.

Last month, reports circulated that residents of Kala Balge, a farming community in northeastern Nigeria, had killed 200 Boko Haram insurgents. About ten days ago, militants came back for revenge. Abba Abdulmumini, a Kala Balge community leader, said they stormed 10 villages in the area, burning homes, killing at least four people and sending thousands of people running for their lives. “The situation is quite pathetic. And it's like the Nigerian government is not willing to act. People are being killed like chickens,” said Abdulmumini. He said with no security forces in the area people wanted to keep fighting, but they ran out of ammunition. “The fighting power of the Boko Haram insurgents cannot be matched by the local weapons around. In fact, they have the heart to fight but they don’t have the weapons. They don’t have the arms,” said Abdulmumini.

Families from Gwoza, Borno State, displaced by the violence and unrest caused by the insurgency, are seen at a refugee camp in Mararaba Madagali, Adamawa State,

Those who fled found no help in a makeshift camp by the Cameroon border. Emergency officials said the area was too dangerous for aid workers to access. Some Kala Balge residents are now returning with their livestock, saying there was not enough grazing land on the other side of the border. On top of that, the militants appear able to attack at any place and any time of their choosing. Last week about 350 people were killed in attacks on villages in Borno State, the heart of the insurgency, and one of three Nigerian states that has been under emergency rule for more than a year. A report released last week by the Norwegian Refugee Council and the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre says there are about 3.3 million displaced people in Nigeria, making it the third-largest displaced population in the world after Syria and Colombia.

Emmanuel Ogebe is a Nigeria expert with the Jubilee Campaign, a Christian human rights organization. He said the government has done little to help the displaced. “The atrocities are continuing to worsen and the government of Nigeria needs to have a strategic human impact mitigation plan, which we don’t see," said Ogebe. Khalifa Dikwa, a political analyst and former lecturer at the University of Maiduguri, said for civilians fleeing their homes, the danger was often not just from the insurgents. He said many people ran because they were caught in the crossfire. “Both the security agents and the Boko Haram kill them. They are not protected,” said Dikwa.

Abdulmumini said villagers, who returned to Kala Balge, said Boko Haram tried to take over the community after the attacks, offering to act as a de facto government. They also went house-to-house confiscating weapons. Villagers said they didn’t want to publicly discuss Boko Haram, even anonymously, for security reasons. In the past five years, the radical group has killed thousands of people, and kidnapped hundreds of others including more than 200 schoolgirls that have been held captive for nearly two months.

Perhaps the U.S. should GIVE THEM much of the armaments that will be left for the Taliban in Afghanistan by Obuma, once we leave!

Chasin' after Boko Haram in search of missing schoolgirls...

Where are Nigeria's missing girls? On the hunt for Boko Haram
Tue June 10, 2014 -- The license plates on our police escorts' Land Cruisers read "Borno State, Home of Peace." Many of those we meet during our stay in Maiduguri, northeast Nigeria, smile bitterly at the irony of that statement. The state's capital is now better known as the birthplace of Boko Haram and peace here is always uncertain.

Down the dusty streets we drive, passing checkpoint after checkpoint manned not by soldiers but civilians, mostly armed with little more than machetes and swords. These vigilante groups, driven by a determination and motivation that the Nigerian security forces largely lack, have managed to establish some semblance of security in Maiduguri. Their pursuit of Boko Haram has become relentless -- hardened as they are by losses to the terror group over the years -- and they show no mercy, not even to family. "I caught him with my hand and handed him over to the authority," one of the sector's leaders, Abba Ajikalli, tells us unapologetically. He is speaking about his 16-year-old nephew, who he says was with Boko Haram. "He has been executed," Ajikalli informs us, without a hint of remorse on his face. "He was like my son, I have no regret."

What started as a home-grown movement for Sharia law in northern Nigeria is now a full-scale insurgency. Boko Haram attacks have terrorized this part of the country for years, but their kidnapping of nearly 300 schoolgirls in Chibok in April has brought them an unprecedented level of international infamy. Since then the insurgents, seemingly galvanized by the attention, have stepped up the frequency and brazenness of its attacks on villages in the region. A presidential fact-finding mission is in Maiduguri at the same time as our trip. Each morning we receive word that they will travel to Chibok; each morning the residents and parents of the girls stolen from Chibok wait; and each afternoon everyone is disappointed by another postponement.

One woman, who is part of the mission and asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the situation, told us that she would be quitting "[The parents] need to know that the nation is with them, that people are with them," she said emotionally. "But there are people that wouldn't let us even call them. They keep saying it's security and that's why we can't go, but some of us are willing to risk it." More than six weeks after the kidnapping, the Nigerian government and its forces have done little to ease the agony of the girls' parents and those who have rallied behind the cause. Last week, officials banned all protests in support of the "Bring Back Our Girls" campaign, calling them "lawless," before reversing tack in the face of a public outcry.

Traveling outside of Maiduguri is a risk, and our time on the ground is limited by security concerns. Just twenty minutes outside the city limits we find entire villages empty after recent attacks. Maiduguri may be Boko Haram's birthplace, but its terror is spreading. Refugees have been flowing into neighboring countries, where borders exist in name only, and each person has a harrowing tale of escape, a heartbreaking story of loss from which few will recover. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) estimates that as many as 1,000 refugees a week are crossing the border into Niger's Diffa region. Four out of five are women and girls. The IRC estimates that if the violence continues in northern Nigeria, up to 100,000 refugees could be living in Diffa by the end of the year.
