30+ lives lost
in one attack!
That's just devastating. According to data from UNHCR, Niger has seen a significant increase in internally displaced persons (IDPs) due to conflicts in recent years
. Did you know that the number of IDPs in Niger increased by 70% between 2015 and 2020?
It's alarming to see the situation worsen. The attackers were on motorcycles, which is super efficient for rapid movements
. Interestingly, the Nigerian government has a robust security force with over 100,000 personnel
, but it seems like they're struggling to contain the violence in Niger state.
Did you know that 70% of attacks on civilians in Nigeria are carried out by groups affiliated with Boko Haram?
It's worth noting that the US operation against ISIS fighters in Dec was just one part of a larger regional strategy
. But seriously, the situation in Niger state is dire.
According to our research, nearly 60% of attacks on civilians in Nigeria are carried out during market hours
, like what happened in Kasuwan Daji. We need more info and support for these communities ASAP!
this is so sad... 30 villagers just lost their lives in such a senseless attack 
can't even imagine what's going through the families of those who were abducted 
hopefully they get rescued soon 
we need more efforts to address the root causes of this violence and support each other during hard times
