Nigeria: Jihadis kill at least 81 people, burn many shops and homes
The UN, proponents of Black Lives Matter, and other prominent human rights organizations and activists are silent in the face of such atrocities, as they always are when it comes to real cases of blacks being savaged.

Nigeria: Sunni jihadis attack Shi’ite school while the students were asleep, force them outside, murder three
This attack could be revenge for this attack from the Islamic Movement in Nigeria. “And we prescribed for them in it, Life for life, and eye for eye, and nose for nose, and ear for ear, and tooth for tooth, and retaliation for injuries.
