At least 97 dead in new 'Boko Haram' attack in NE Nigeria
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria: Suspected Boko Haram militants killed close to 100 people in attacks on homes and mosques in a northeastern Nigerian village, witnesses said Thursday.
"The attackers have killed at least 97 people," a local from Kukawa village, who gave his name as Kolo and who said he had counted the bodies, told AFP.
A fisherman who witnessed Wednesday's attack corroborated the death toll.
"They wiped out the immediate family of my uncle ...They killed his children, about five of them, and set his entire house ablaze," Kolo said.
Another witness called Babami Alhaji Kolo who fled to Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state where the attack took place, said more than 50 militants stormed the village early Wednesday evening.
"The terrorists first descended on Muslim worshipers in various mosques who were observing the Maghrib prayer shortly after breaking their fast," he said.
"They... opened fire on the worshipers who were mostly men and young children.
"They spared nobody. In fact, while some of the terrorists waited and set most of the corpses on fire, others proceeded to houses and shot indiscriminately at women who were preparing food," he said.
I do not understand why we have not helped these people.
Because Africa is a toilet and not worth one American.
Didn’t the Pope just bless Nigerian Muzzies
We already did.
Remember?

Well the ‘Rats should work their policy miracles in Mexico in order to prove them out b4 hitting ‘Frica.
Even with a government not completely adversarial to the US taking the lead in confronting Islamists it would be difficult. The Nigerian and for that matter all the West African militaries are worse than bad jokes. Corrupt, dysfunctional, products of a brutal screwed up culture that is neither tribal or modern. Resistant and arrogant towards any outside guidance and totally incapable of conducting the most elementary sort of mil operation they are also to a fair degree infiltrated by Islamists agents.
Obama refused to help Nigeria with intelligence because he was wanted sodomy the law of the land in Nigeria.
“As WND has reported, despite first lady Michelle Obama’s much-publicized Twitter campaign to #BringBackOurGirls, President Obama withheld weapons and intelligence support from Nigeria in its fight against the Islamists because Jonathan’s administration stood by the nation’s laws criminalizing homosexual acts and strictly forbidding same-sex marriage.”
“Jonathan was defeated in the March election by retired Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, who ruled as dictator there from 1983 until 1985, when he was removed through a coup. Buhari’s campaign was run by the political firm founded by key Obama strategist David Axelrod.”

It was no piece of cake taking on the Nazi’s or Japan either. Evil must be stopped. Are we so corrupt ourselves that we cannot understand that? Or do we not care?
