2000 Feared Dead in Nigerian Massacre By Boko Haram Thousands of people have died – bodies still remain strewn in the bushes. It’s an attack that Amnesty International has described as the deadliest massacre in the history of terrorist group, Boko Haram. The terrorist group based in Northern Nigeria, have attacked Baga town, where bodies have literally been left rotting on the street as others flee for their lives. Killing more than two thousand people, and leaving hundreds injured; the Boko Haram want to establish an Islamic state in the country’s western side, and have been actively doing so since 2009. Reports have been made of militants torching buildings in Baga, and shooting civilians in the line of fire. The town has been reduced into a “virtual non-existence,” according to a senior government official speaking with the BBC, Musa Alhaji Bukar. The town that once housed an approximate population of ten thousand people is now gone. “Boko Haram was now in control of Baga and sixteen neighboring towns after the military retreated,” Mr. Bukar continued, raising fears that the death toll was in the thousands. #skywalker
