Boko Haram attack

2,000 feared killed in 'deadliest' Boko Haram attack in Nigeria
It is pretty self-explanatory what this article is about.   It is about Boko Haram’s most recent attack which took place in Kano, Nigeria.  Boko Haram militants opened fire on northern Nigerian villages, leaving bodies scattered everywhere and as many as 2,000 people feared dead.  Their worst attack yet.  They just keep getting worse.   It says that dead bodies were “littered” all over the area.   The raids that started all of this began on January 3 2015, when they attacked Baga.   After that they continued on their raid/killing spree for 15 more villages. The worst part of this is that there were 30,000 people that lost their home and have nowhere to go.   
really feel bad for all of those people.  They were kicked out of their home and village and now have no food, no water and no protection.  They have to fend for themselves.  The worst part of it is that they have no one to help them.  The government isn’t helping and the United Nations isn’t helping.  I know that if that were me I would be really upset and would really want help.  Those people have children.  They are completely alone.

  1. This is the same article I did my current even on for the class. I agree with you in saying that you feel bad for these people because I felt the same way. This man is one of the reasons why Africa Is doing the exact opposite of increasing as a whole and yet they are becoming more and more divided.

  2. The part that aggravates me the most is that no one is helping them. I think that the United nations should have been there ASAP. They are nowhere to be seen.

  3. I think this relates to Hotel Rwanda in a major way by having the Tutsi army kill various people for no reason. They would go into villages and kill. Even more after the president was murdered
