Nigeria's Boko Haram k\Kills 28 in Three Village Attacks
Reuters ^ | Sat May 24, 2014

Suspected Islamist Boko Haram gunmen rampaged through three villages in northern Nigeria, killing 28 people and burning houses to the ground in a pattern of violence that has become almost a daily occurrence, according to police and witnesses.

All three attacks happened on Thursday in remote parts of Borno state, the epicenter of Boko Haram's increasingly bloody struggle for an Islamic kingdom in religiously mixed Nigeria.

One took place right next to Chibok, by the Cameroon border, from where more than 200 school girls were abducted last month.

Remember they are not terrorists. They are Hillary Clintons friends.

So then Nigeria has no Police Force to protect them from Boko Haram, or National Guard, or Army, or what? Humane Society? I have to think the only way radical violent groups like Boko continue to flourish is because they have infiltrated all the protective forces. This sounds like in Mexico. Such bureaucratic rot only happens after a long history of cooperation, aiding and abetting. In other words, they need to save their own girls OR, OR, if Nigeria really wants America’s help, fine, then pay us in Nigerian oil rights pronto!

Nothing new here, just dozens more innocent Christians being killed again, this morning.

The only real surprise is that the kidnapping of the girls got any attention in the first place.

By the way, other than the fact that the girls are Christians, were they actually treated any different than girls born into Islamic societies, at all?

One would think the villagers would go on killing sprees against the terrorists and put an end to all this. Lets say each of those school girls have two parents, four grandparents and one older brother. That’s 5 adults x 200 girls = 1000 pissed off relatives who should be on the rampage settling the score. OTOH, it’s their own relatives who have joined the terrorists so it’ll never end.
