Local civilian fighter pushes back against Boko Haram's violence in northeast Nigeria


A growing number of locals are setting up self-styled civilian defence forces to push back against years of violence in Nigeria’s northern states.
The community says they have a big role to play in pushing back against armed groups including Boko Haram.

Al Jazeera spoke to one civilian fighter in Borno State, Boko Haram’s long-time stronghold…

The USA's democrats, especially the Obamas and Clinton are specifically responsible for the creation and growth of Boko Haram all because they wanted to get Goodluck Johnathan Out of office and put that demon Buhari in. They created so much fake propaganda (globally and inside Nigeria) and when michelle posted and started that bring back our girls and saying that the Nigerian Government doesnt care; they forced the administration to negotiate and pay them millions of dollars to release the girls. This helped them buy more weapons and recruit more members and become even more of a nuisance in our society. Furthermore, it sent a message that it is financially lucrative to kidnap girls from schools so guess what happened next??? There should be a 100% ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY on boko haram and any other militants in our society and I believe that our new dear president Tinubu will rid us of this nonsense (although he is partially responsible for Buhari getting into power in the first place – but that is politics). Buhari is the VERY WORST PRESIDENT NIGERIA HAS EVER HAD and we are moving forward and correcting that mistake. God bless the federal republic of Nigeria.

No matter what, who, when or where; It's utterly deplorable, disgusting and down right heart breaking to see Africans annihilating Africans when, you're being played and so despised in this world….What a pity & shame; no words to describe it.

I am your sister from Yemen, and by Allah I only spoke out of hunger and distress. My mother, my brothers, and I lessons and tears. We are in a situation that only God knows about. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs for those who broughtOh people, we are your sisters, by God 😭😭😭 We do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you, oh nation of Muhammad. People are brothers. Oh God, make your righteous servants subservient to us. Oh God, make your righteous servants subservient to us. My appeal to every Muslim, oh Lord, if he sees this message, may He prolong his life, make him happy, and cover him. May God reward him. God is sufficient for me, and He is the best disposer of affairs. There is no power or strength except with God. Oh people, oh nation of Muhammad, oh people of goodness, oh people of mercy. We are your sisters and your children. By God, we do not even find a loaf of bread inside the house that would satisfy you. Oh nation of Muhammad, I only spoke out of extreme hunger and distress. My mother, sisters, and I are displaced from our homes because of the war. We are in a state that no one knows about except God. God is sufficient for us, and He is the best disposer of affairs, against those who brought us to this state 💔💔 By God Almighty, I only wrote this appeal out of extreme poverty and poverty, oh people. I beg you by God Almighty, Lord of the Mighty Throne, that I do not have food at home. By God, my brothers and sisters have been sitting around for two days. Without food, by God our situation is very difficult, we are 6 people in the house and my father passed away and there is no one to support us and we live in a rented house and we cannot pay the rest of the rent. I am not lying to you nor deceiving you nor cheating you. I am a Yemeni girl displaced because of the war between me and my family over a rent dispute and the owner of the house. By God, my brother comes every day and humiliates us and talks about us and wants us to go out to the street because we are unable to pay him the rent. The neighbors saw us crying and talked to the neighbors again and gave us a deadline until the end of the week and we swore to God to let us out of the street now we are in arrears of 60 thousand Yemeni riyals for 3 months rent may God have mercy on us our country is suffering because of this war and we do not find our daily sustenance and we live my mother and sisters our father passed away may God have mercy on him and we do not have anyone in the world to come to us in these harsh circumstances my little sisters went out to the street and saw the neighbors eating and stood at their door giving them even a piece of bread and by God in whose hand is the heavens and the earth they closed the door and kicked them out and they came back crying dying of hunger no one has mercy on them and now the holiday has come back to me if no one of us helps us with a kilo of flour by God we will die of hunger brother I seek refuge in God and then in you and I want your help for the sake of God I ask you by God you love goodness and help me even if it is about the rent of the house send me a WhatsApp message on this number+967،735867642 and ask for my card name and send it and do not delay may God compensate you with all good My little sisters, look at their situation and help us and save us before they throw us out into the street and humiliate us or my family and I die of hunger. We ask you by God, if you are able to help us, do not delay on us, and may God reward you with .good.'~~_«%•&»v….,zy&😢😢;…..,,,l..,,,lll.,,,,,………,,,,,,,,,,,, …,.,,…….!~~~♡♡♡~~~♡~♡~•~•~•~.,,.c,,,,•~♡……,,, …..,…….j……,…..,,,,,s,,,,,,,,,,z,, ,,,,, …… . ……
