Genocide in Africa and no one will talk about it for fear of insulting Islam.
‘Many Feared Dead’: Boko Haram ‘Seizes’ Two Nigerian Towns Weeks After Gov’t Declared Group Defeated
By Edwin Mora, Breitbart, August 22, 2019:
Boko Haram jihadis seized two towns in Nigeria’s Borno state on Wednesday, killing many people as they set houses and government buildings ablaze.
Story continues below advertisementCiting the state-run News Agency of Nigeria and a top local government official, the Punch newspaper reports that the terrorists have left the two towns, noting:
Normalcy has returned to Gubio and Magumeri communities of Borno after the Wednesday night attacks coordinated by Boko Haram insurgents.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that residents in the affected areas returned to their homes after the insurgents’ attacks at Gubio and Magumeri headquarters of Magumeri and Gubio Local Government Areas of the state.
The insurgents attacked the communities at about 6:00 pm [Wednesday]; torched residential homes, schools, offices, looted food items and abducted a member of the Civilian Joint Task Force.
Zanna Modu, the chairman of the Gubio Local Government Council, indicated that the terrorists “withdrew on Thursday,” according to the Punch.
“The situation is calm; people returned to their homes on Thursday,” Usman Zanna, a Nigerian lawmaker who represents both the Gubio and Magumeri communities, reportedly added Thursday.
However, the Premium Times reports that jihadis remain in control of the towns.
Unlike other news outlets, the newspaper assigned blame for the attack to the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL) affiliate in West Africa (ISWA), a Boko Haram offshoot.
“The terrorists, mostly of the Boko Haram ISWA affiliate, have remained in control of Gubio, Magumeri and contiguous communities,” the Premium Times reports.
Jihadis control “large swathes of northern Borno where the military has largely pulled out amidst relentless deadly attacks on troops and their bases,” it adds.
The ISIS affiliate allegedly broke away from Boko Haram in 2016 over leadership issues, but the groups appear to consist of some of the same fighters.
Borno is the birthplace of Boko Haram. The terrorists carried out the recent attacks less than two weeks after a similar assault on Gubio.
A local government official told Sahara Reporters on the condition of anonymity:
It is unfortunate that a week after a deadly attack which took place in Gubio that led to the withdrawal of troops, other armed insurgents stormed Gubio town at about 6 pm, performed their maghrib prayers about 6:30 pm in Gubio Mosque before they wreaked havoc on innocent civilians with setting ablaze of houses and public structures.
Maghrib refers to one of the five obligatory daily prayers of Islam performed after sunset.
Without providing a specific figure, local news outlets report that Wednesday’s attack left “many” people dead.
An unnamed source told the Daily Trust:
They walked freely in our town, many houses were burnt and telecommunications mast equally burnt, many are feared dead. We can’t tell you how many people were killed, but certainly many lost their lives.
Furthermore, the Premium Times reveals that the attack left “thousands” of civilians trapped in the towns on Wednesday.
The attacks came weeks after Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration falsely claimed that his government “defeated” Boko Haram.
Buhari has repeatedly claimed victory over the group since taking office in 2015, but the group has continued to wreak havoc.
Boko Haram’s insurgency marked its tenth anniversary in late July.
On Monday, the United Nations said the Boko Haram death toll had reached 35,000 since it began its insurgency a decade ago.
The U.N. figures echo a tally by the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR).
According to CFR, the Boko Haram war has left 35,820 people dead, including jihadis, state actors, and civilians.

Note the silence from those of the Democrats, the MSM, and other Islam apologists. The latter postulate, Boko Haram is not true Islam. Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Nigeria folded, capitulated to this terror group ages ago; not unlike, the EU, Canada, the Democrats and others requiring us to assimilate to Islam’s tenets of peace and tolerance.
This malevolent infestation in Nigeria is not endemic but pandemic, effecting, infecting the entirety of this planet. The inept, fabricators of falsehoods within Nigeria’s leadership are akin to those of the West’s leadership of absolute perfidy regarding Islam.

Ziggy,
The demoncraps have been imibing in the Koolaid, of izlame, to believe, it is a peaceful religion (death cult). The only peace, izlame believes in, is spelled piece. Your head is a piece, that you don’t need, unless you believe that a perverted child molester, is your savior. And, baal is your god.
If they would read a little bit of the koran, and find, it is far from peaceful. It’s perfectly fine to rape, pillage, steal, lie, murder, torture, etc. All in the name of allah ( may his name be shat on).
It does make me, especially angry, that the blinded democratic Jews, of America, don’t realize, the democrats, have sold out to an unholy anti-semetic leadership. This is like, watching a “Jews for Hitler” march. Unfortunately, they will not receive their sight, until the return of Jesus the Messiah.

Many of those, often under drugs killing BH-“Soldiers” are uneducated and poor very young Boys without any future,
To create havoc among their own Civilians, BH is using more an more young suicide-ready Girls, having no any idea of life. It’s an endless tragedy, which has obviously been supported by the Saudis which are still believing, that their behaviour ist promising the “paradise on earth”.
And many Nigerians are thinking, that some members of the (lazy) Buhari Government are involved in all this stories.
If the since long time awaited revolution could finally been established once, BH will have to disappear and vanish in hell. I feel very sorry about this thousands of innocent victims due this satanic activities – under the umbrella of the “religion of peace”. OF WHAT “PEACE” ?

The leadership in Nigeria is Muslim, so its claim that Boko Haram was eliminated is false on its face. To the contrary – the government, through inaction, is encouraging this murder to continue taking place and to expand southward through the country.

I wonder if the muslum government of Nigeria isn’t covertly facilitating the slaughter of Christians. The rotten, corrupt, subverted State Dept. and C_I-A might know but they’re not talking.

When Obama was president, he warned African nations they would receive no foreign aid from the United States if they did not adopt LGBTQ rights and permit unrestricted abortion.
Your point is well-founded. Add to this the flaming internationalists and deep-staters in America who support the thuggish UN and don’t give a tinker’s hoot about the many defenseless residents (Christian or other non-muslim) of whatever country of misfortune they find themselves entrapped. These utopian perverts and Epsteinians want the population of the planet reduced to a manageable 500 million “slaves” anyway, so the slaughter in Nigeria aids that effort and expectation while “Mother Earth” slowly recovers and heals.
For those who have anticipated this for some time, ye ain’t seen nothin’ yet …

That’s exactly what they want. They consider all of humanity (made in the image and likeness of God) to be deplorable and will use whatever means possible to rid themselves of us.

I simply cannot remember the last time our Islamic immigrants rose up in indignation and purpose to combat the jihadi factions that do so many horrible things in the name of Allah. Why is that??? This “assimilation” thing doesn’t look too promising… Yes, I realize that MOST ordinary muslims do NOT go around whacking their infidels BUT… neither do they seem to do very much to stop those who do, AND an ordinary person not infected with the dreaded “PC disease” might think that they have an OBLIGATION to be LEADERS in the effort to squash the jihadis.

It’s pure genocide, they murder their own people. There is already a Mosque in the village, so they are Muslims. Power, control and revenge same old story.
: Wahhabism, Salafi jihadism is a stain on the earth, of course these are the same genuses who think the way you get rid of HIV/AIDS is to screw a virgin, of course everyone else knows that it just infects the girl who has been raped

Who will be the first country to declare Islam a terrorist organization and ban it in all of its forms? And who are the ones in every country who protect them? God help us.

One way to get rid of this scum, is what we should have done, in Vietnam. $100.00 & a case of beer, for every set of Viet Cong ears. We’d have ended the war, in 6 months.
I realize that inflation has pushed the price to $1000.00, and a case of beer, for a set of Boko Haram, or ISIL/ ISIS ears. Ammo, isn’t as cheap, as it once was.
I am a deplorable, I cling to God, my Bible, and my Guns. But, I admire the Christians, in Africa. To live under constant threat, of death, for your faith, makes you much stronger.
