No one cares. Wrong victims. If the perpetrators and victims were reversed, which would never happen and should never happen, this would get international attention. Commissions, studies, feature articles, government inquiries about Christian “Islamophobia.” But this? No one cares. In fact, if you report on incidents of this kind, you’re a “white supremacist.”

SIS jihadists have taken hundreds of people hostage after a ferocious firefight with soldiers guarding a Nigerian town.
Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), also known as Boko Haram, rolled into the town of Kukawa in the Lake Chad region in 22 trucks at around 4pm on Tuesday.
‘The terrorists engaged soldiers guarding the town in a fierce battle,’ said Babakura Kolo, head of a local militia.
The people of Kukawa had only returned to their hometown two weeks ago after spending the last two years living in a refugee camp near the Borno state capital following a bloody attack on their settlement in November 2018.
Residents of Kukawa, escorted by the military, had returned to the town on August 2, on the orders of the Borno state authorities
They were provided a military escort and ordered to leave the refugee camp on the outskirts of Maiduguri, 120 miles away, by Borno state authorities on August 2.
A local chief who accompanied the residents to the town said the people had returned with the hope of cultivating their farmlands ‘only to end up in the hands of the insurgents’.
‘We don’t know what they would do to them but I hope they don’t harm them,’ said the chief, who asked not to be identified for safety reasons.
A security source who confirmed the incident to AFP said fighter jets were deployed from Maiduguri on Wednesday to ‘tackle the situation’, without giving details.
The decade-long jihadist conflict has forced around two million out of the homes, most of them from the northern part of Borno.
Many have moved into squalid displacement camps in Maiduguri, where they rely on handouts from international charities.
In the last two years, local authorities have been encouraging the displaced to return home, despite concern by international charities that this is not safe.
Residents have been returned to five major towns since 2018, where they are confined under military protection, with trenches dug around towns to try to fend off jihadist raids.

Despite the fortifications, the insurgents have continued to launch attacks.
Residents who venture out to work on their farms or collect firewood have been killed or abducted.
The United Nations last Friday said 10.6 million out of the 13 million people in the conflict-ravaged states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe would need humanitarian assistance this year.
It said the figures represented a 50-percent increase since last year, and the highest tally since the beginning of the joint humanitarian response five years ago.
IIRC the previous Nigerian president (a Christian) hired mercenaries(mostly white) and they cleaned Boko Harem out of Nigeria in 3 months killing 90% with the rest fleeing to surrounding states. However the now incumbent muslim president found no need for them and as the Nigerian army is mostly under muslim control(Like in the genocide of the Christian Ibo) it cannot be trying too hard. The ONLY way that the Nigerian Christians will ever be safe is to kill enough muslims and to force them on their knees and to keep it that way . But the Christians as usual expect someone else to fight their battles for them. Pacifism vs muslims or communist is suicide.
I remember when Hussein Obama & Shrillary replaced the Christian with the Moslem.
From that day on, Boko Haram was literally eradicating the Christians.
