Seven killed in Nigeria jihadist attack on Christmas eve
By Journal de Camroun, December 25, 2019:
Boko Haram jihadists have killed seven people on Christmas Eve in a raid on a Christian village near the town of Chibok in northeast Nigeria’s Borno state, local militia and residents told AFP Wednesday.

ADVERTISINGBoko Haram and its IS-affiliated Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) faction have recently stepped up attacks on military and civilian targets.
“They killed seven people and abducted a teenage girl in the attack,” local vigilante David Bitrus said.
“They took away food stuff and burnt many houses before leaving,” he said, adding that a church was also burnt.
The jihadists were believed to have attacked from Boko Haram’s nearby Sambisa forest enclave, said Chibok community leader Ayuba Alamson who confirmed the toll.
In April, Boko Haram raided Kwarangulum, 16 kilometres (10 miles) from Chibok, stealing food and burning the entire village.
Residents had managed to flee before the arrival of the jihadists following tip-off from people who saw the gunmen heading toward the village.
Chibok is the scene of the mass kidnap of 276 schoolgirls in 2014 by Boko Haram which sparked global outrage and drew international attention to the group’s notoriety.
Fifty-seven of the girls escaped shortly after the kidnap. Another 107 have been either rescued or released after negotiations while 112 remain in captivity.
Troops have been stationed in Chibok since the kidnap but deadly Boko Haram raids continue in the area.
The decade-long conflict has killed 36,000 people and displaced around two million from their homes in the northeast, according to the United Nations.

Christians are murdered en-masse throughout the world, especially in Africa. The mass-murderers are Muslims. I forced myself to watch a tad of Pope Francis’ Christmas propaganda message to his faithful flock. This man who is the spokesperson, propagandist and apologist of Islam dwells in a netherworld of his creation. Francis’ and others of his perfidy do not give a damn about the slaughtering of Christians or Jew; his sole concern is that of the true believers of the faux-religion of peace, Islam.
The man, an unmitigated fraud, should face castigation from not only those of his faith but those, the MSM, Liberals, Globalists, and a litany of others who laud this religious hoaxer.

Are the degenerate, immoral atheists of the dying West celebrating the slaughter?

I wonder if the jihad squad is passing out candy?
