Satellite images and witness accounts have emerged of what Amnesty International calls the catastrophic destruction of what is happening in Nigeria. Hundreds are feared dead after Boko Haram militants attacked Baga and surrounding areas earlier this month. Before and after images taken of two adjacent towns show thousands of buildings damaged or destroyed. The Nigerian military has claimed a toll as low as 150, but it could be as high as 2,000. Boko Haram is also suspected in a pair of suicide attacks over the weekend where explosives were strapped to young girls. Boko Haram is now in control of 17 Nigerian towns. Following is the world reaction on ongoing massacre on Nigeria by the Boko Haram.
