Boko Haram Says No Cease Fire, No Release of Kidnapped Girls

[Clementine]

Despite claims that a cease fire agreement was in place and that the 200 kidnapped girls would be returned, Boko Harem says that is not the case. The attacks continue and they claim the girls have already been married off and are living in the marital homes. The girls supposedly have converted to Islam, as if they have a choice. What a bunch of inhuman garbage. They need to be wiped off the earth, along with all terrorists, because they are lower than cock roaches.

Meanwhile, we need to eliminate CAIR in this country because of their ties to terrorist organizations. Instead, they are influencing public policy. Enough of this shit already.

The latest in a string of abductions...

Boko Haram Suspected in Mass Kidnap in Northeast Nigeria
18 Dec.`14 ~ Islamist militants of the group Boko Haram are suspected of abducting at least 100 women and children, and killing nearly three dozen others, from a remote village in northeastern Nigeria.

Gunmen in trucks raided Gumsuri last Friday and staged an attack that ended on Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reports, citing members of a local vigilante group. Gumsuri is located near Chibok, where 276 schoolgirls were abducted in April. The number of abductions in the new attack varies between news outlets, hovering between more than 100 and above 200.

Mike Omeri, a government spokesman, told TIME that the government is “outraged and deeply saddened by this deplorable act” and said the real number of those abducted isn’t known yet. “It is impossible to verify the number of those missing at this early stage because it is presumed that many civilians fled during the attack,” he said in a statement. “As soon as government agencies and our local partners have together determined the credible number of missing civilians, we will provide that information to the public.”

The recent raid, the latest in a string of similar abductions in the restive region, comes about two months after the Nigerian government claimed it had reached a cease-fire with Boko Haram and that the group planned to release the schoolgirls. The group’s leader Abubakar Shekau later denied that a deal had been reached and said the girls had already been married off.

Boko Haram forcin' lil' kids to be suicide bombers...

Nearly 1 in 5 Boko Haram suicide bombers is a child, U.N. says
May 17, 2016 -- The number of children Boko Haram has used as suicide bombers has increased ten fold in the past year to one in five bombings, the United Nations reported.

Despite a military offensive against the Islamist terrorist group in the Lake Chad Basin, Boko Haram gunmen are still attacking civilians and military targets. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs reported last week that 44 children were involved in suicide bombings in 2015. More than 57 percent were girls, according to the U.N. Children's Fund. The most bombings by minors took place in Cameroon with 21 between January 2014 and February 2016, followed by Nigeria with 17 and Chad with 2. Children are also suffering, the OCHA reports. The agency says about 486,000 children in Borno and 242,000 in Yobe in northeastern Nigeria have acute malnutrition. Specifically, about 73,000 children under 2 years old there urgently need ready-to-use supplementary nutritious foods. It also recommends food supplements for 27,000 pregnant and lactating mothers.

The report warns that an estimated 67,000 children aged 6 months to 5 years are likely to die in Borno and Yobe in 2016. The report warns that translates to 184 deaths every day. Overall, about 3 million people do not have enough food to eat, the U.N. says. OCHA noted that only 10 percent of the $535 million required to assist the affected populations across the region has been received. "Societies have been torn apart by the conflict. It is important that in addition to military options a social strategies approach is also implemented through education, economics and socio-political avenues," Martin Ewi of the Institute for Security Studies told the African News Agency.

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon voiced concern over reported human rights abuses in the region during a summit in Abuja, Nigeria, on Saturday. His message was delivered by Mohamed Ibn Chambas, special representative of the secretary-general and head of the United Nations Office for West Africa and the Sahel. "Respect for human rights is just one of the many essential elements of the comprehensive joint approach to tackle Boko Haram," he said. "Governments, with the support of the international community and other partners, must support the communities and people affected by the conflict. They must also address the root causes that led to the emergence of violent extremism and terrorism in this region. "The sustainable recovery of areas liberated from Boko Haram will require humanitarian and development aid, and long-term support to promote the rule of law, strengthen governance, ensure sustainable and inclusive development, and foster social cohesion. Many women and girls in this region have experienced serious abuse and trauma, and will need government help to recover. "

More than 20,000 people have been killed by Boko Haram and 2.3 million displaced since the terrorist group began its violent campaign in 2009 to forge an Islamic caliphate in Nigeria. Boko Haram was designated a foreign terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department in 2013.
