Islamic militants kill 11 people and burn homes in late night attack in Nigeria, local officials say

I follow a couple Nigerian soldiers on Insta and the death toll is mind boggling and underreported over the past few years. Like every week they post videos of their operations and each time there are many bodies of the enemy, of the civilians, and of their own. Recently one posted a few photos of some Syrian guys they killed that were fighting for the Jihad forces and before that he posted video of the aftermath of multiple VBIED attacks on their guys. I criticize the current US gov of basically every move made but helping Nigeria was one of the few things I agree to.

did you mean to type “Islamic terrorists”?

"Islamic militants" is the classic way for news networks like AP to rebrand literal terrorists, but only when it's convenient

This year alone the Nigerian government lost two Generals, a Colonel and a Major to terrorists, many of whom they either set free or recruit into the army. The country is basically in a state of civil war but reporting on this is being globally suppressed by the news.

The fact that it wasn't made by Israel or the US, and that it was Islamist militants, won't get more than a dozen likes.

This post has two characteristics in its title which ensures that Listnook will downplay and ignore this post. However, if those two characteristics were replaced by other ones which have dominated the news, this post would hit the front page. Can you guess which?

But it’s not Gaza and the militants aren’t Jewish, so it’s fine. /s

I was looking for Mali news. Accidentally got Nigeria.

Ugh religion is used to legitimate such heinous acts against each other. Sickening.
