Blog 4 : Horror in Nigeria

Two days ago a terror attack in Nigeria killed 29 boys. A Gunman from the Islamist group Boko Haram stormed in the north east of the country and boys got burned to death. This Group fights for an Islamic state in northern Nigeria and more then 200 people were killed in two attacks last week. Nigeria’s president tries to fight against the group with military and the help from Cameroon.

The Boko Haram is an Islamic militant and terrorist organization based in the northeast of Nigeria, north Cameroon and Niger. The organization seeks to establish a Islamic state ruled by sharia law and they are against the westernization. Violence linked to Boko Haram insurgency has resulted in an estimated 10,000 deaths between 2001 and 2013. Nigeria and the other countries have to stick together to fight against this group and to prevent more of terrible terror attacks. Nigeria has to find ways to shut down borders to other countries over the mountains, that the terrorist cannot come in or escape through the mountains. You never are able to prevent a terror attack for sure but if you establish new rules and laws and work together with other countries and their military, you can make it harder for this group to grow and do terror attacks.
