Boko Haram Kills Dozens In Niger Attack

Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.

Islamic extremist group Boko Haram attacked Niger’s Diffa region in an overnight attack leaving scores dead according to security sources.

At least 30 civilians are reportedly dead.  Officials added that several villages were completely burned to the ground by the terrorists.

The attack is the second time in a week that Boko Haram has crossed the Nigerian border to kill civilians.  The group launched suicide bombings in Chad Monday that killed 34.

Chad reported to those attacks with air strikes on areas that are controlled by Boko Haram in Nigeria.

The new Nigerian president has promised to increase the multinational force fighting the terrorists to 7,500 and that “efforts to strengthen security cooperation with our neighbours and adjust our own response to Boko Haram will yield results very soon”.
