Nigeria’s Maiduguri curfew lifted

http://www.news24.com/Africa/News/Nigerias-Maiduguri-curfew-lifted-20150126

“Nigerian Army spokesperson Colonel Sani Usman announced the lifting of the curfew from 06:00. “People can go about their legitimate business,” he said.”


Definitely mixed signals from what happened. I don’t think the city was taken over. CNN seems to be the only one reporting the city captured.

I’d vote for a new President if I were there, Johnathan does little to help.

Off-Topic from Nigeria but dozens of Police Officers killed hunting down a “Bali Bomber” (Casino incident in Indonesia).

Up to 49 killed.

Gotta keep up with the news rather than just posting a bunch of articles from whatever source. This is a big story, the Terrorist killed was apparently wanted.
