Nigeria: Muslims attack Action Against Hunger aid convoy, one dead, six missing

Jihadists sometimes attack humanitarian aid organizations because these organizations are not Muslim, and they view the aid they bring as bribes intended to lead the faithful away from Islam.
“Six missing after suspected Islamists attack aid convoy in northeast Nigeria,” Reuters, July 19, 2019:
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (Reuters) – Six people are missing following an attack on an aid convoy in northeast Nigeria, an international aid organization said on Friday with sources stating that it was carried out by Islamist insurgents who abducted survivors.
Action Against Hunger in a statement said one staff member, two drivers and three other health workers are missing after Thursday’s attack on a convoy near the town of Damasak in the northeastern state of Borno in which one driver was killed….
The case raises concerns about the targeting of humanitarian staff in the region’s decade-long insurgency, triggered by Boko Haram militants….
The latest attack comes nine months after Islamic State’s West Africa branch executed a Red Cross aid worker who was kidnapped from another town in northeastern Nigeria in March 2018.
Around 30,000 people have been killed in the insurgency, during which militant group Boko Haram has sought to create an Islamic caliphate. And more than two million people have been forced to flee their homes.

Nigeria is one of worst countries. (A true turd world sh*thole), Look at the actual “government”! The so called president is hardly present, he only is making non important decisions at all, many of his governors are brazenly corrupt (check out example in the Internet “Ganduje”),big money is diverted to foreign bank accounts, no good public schools, no security, daily kidnappings and killings (Boko Haram), insufficient and impaired health infrastructure, lamentable roads. no electricity, no clean drinking water, no sanitation infrastructure, no local postal service, lack of maintenance of vehicles of any kind (deadly tanker accidents are “normal”), army seems to be infiltrated by Islam, no fair correct elections, endless environment problems (air/water), no effective family planning, Fulan iviolence problems, growing ethnic tensions. The list goes on.
Check out, in what luxurious lifestyle the so called “upper and leading class” of Nigerians is living!
Therefore it’s an easy game for Jihadists, to find “new members”! Something decisive has now to be done very soon!

Explain why the USA is giving Nigeria $851 million of our tax dollars for this crap. The muslims have to be brought down in the way which they bring others down and as the gentleman said, take no prisoners. This is pure crap. The President of Nigeria needs to get a life and protect his people from these dogs. Why are we even messing with them; their ONLY agenda is kill all non-muslims; kidnap and murder; pure idiots. CUT OFF ALL MONEY TO THEM, then they might see the light.
Why is the West feeding Africa ? You name it and they can grow there
Just a thought — if we wiped out all the Muslims, there would be fewer people to feed, the food on hand might be sufficient, and there would be less hunger. Perhaps Action Against Hunger should retaliate by adopting new tactics.
Africa; the armpit of humanity. Kingdom of the animals. Perhaps the African’s should be hunted for sport there; at least those who poach or trophy kill.
Hey “George”, there’s your religion of peace at it again, doing what they do best.
I have more respect for ISIS than I do for NGOs, considering the harm they’re doing to Western Society. At least with ISIS they don’t couch themselves as ‘humanitarians’.
French organization
Because they murdered the Christians who used to grow food there.
Post BUMP!
