Boko Haram accused of crimes against humanity by the UN .. Islamists slaughtered female slaves

Boko Haram fighters have been murdering dozens of young women and girls they had taken as 'wives' and using children as 'expendable cannon fodder', the U.N.'s human rights chief said today.

As the Islamist militant group has retreated from parts of northeastern Nigeria, 'gruesome scenes of mass graves and further evident signs of slaughter,' has been brought to light, Zeid Raad al-Hussein told a special session of the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva.

Boko Haram's reported use of children as shields and human bombs would, if confirmed, constitute war crimes and crimes against humanity.

This comes in response to last week's reports that hundreds of women and children had been seized from Nigerian primary schools by Boko Haram militants to be used as 'human shields'.

The Islamic militants took as many as 500 adults and children from primary schools in the north-eastern town of Damasak in late February, Mike Omeri, spokesman for the fight against Boko Haram, confirmed.

...

There has also been eye-witness reports of the insurgents slaughtering dozens of Nigerian women who had been forced to marry Boko Haram fighters, before a battle with government troops in the northeast town of Bama.

Witnesses said the women's Islamist militant 'husbands' feared they would be killed by advancing troops, and murdered their 'wives' to prevent them from subsequently marrying soldiers or 'infidels'.

The very structure of Islam is a crime against humanity.

Ah yes the U. N., years late to any reasoned conclusion.

It’s own people raping children in Africa, but it’s the conscience of the free world.

God I hate it when Carter, Obama, the Democrats, or the U. N. finally get something right. It’s the best way I know of to discredit truth.

Nigeria supposedly has an army of around 100,000 men. Why can't they find these savages and clean up the problem?
Bigfoot's hashtag campaign seems to have sputtered a bit.

Well bake me a gay wedding cake made of ham and put Muhammad’s face on it, you can’t tell me that killing my sex slaves is a crime. It’s part of my religion. /s

I wonder how long before the Jihadists realize that there is a likeness of Muhammad on the Supreme Court Building?

Islamist? Didn’t the Mail get the White House memo? Boko Haram has nothing to do with Islam!
