Attacks in Africa

While searching for certain documents to post on to the blog about the current events that are happening in Africa, I came across and article found on CNN.com that talked about what they called a "deadliest massacre" that was executed by an African leader named Boko Haram. This article spoke about what exactly Boko Harams I tensions were when it came to killing all of these people and just how he felt was the correct way to execute this attack. The attack started on January 3, 2015 and lasted 3 days. The attack and raiding took place in the town of Baga and many people and their families had to flee their own living environment. A statement made from the chairman of the local government says, "Dead bodies litter the bushes in the area and it is still no‎t safe to go and pick them (up) for burial," said Musa Bukar. These attacks were brutal, fatal, and extremely scary for the families that lived in this village. This article reminded me exactly of how the attacks happened in the movie Hotel Rwanda. The towns where people spent their lives innocently were attacked and raided simply for the feeling of others. The violence of the attacks in this article make me vision how the attacks happened in the movie. This article and the movie Hotel Rwanda are a great comparison in the sense that they both show how people have lost many things and how people try and take control all because they are ordered too. Innocent people of these towns have lost and could possibly still be losing their homes, family members, and their sense of security in their own home. People's homes aren't safe anymore in certain parts of Africa and the violence of other cultures and people has changed our world in a very negative way.m.imdb.com/title/tt0395169/
