Boko Haram Terrorism Displaced Over One Million Children: UN

Alwaght | News & Analysis Website

Alwaght- Around 1.4 million children have been displaced following an insurgency ISIS-affiliated Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram.
In a Friday report, by The United Nations Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the terrorist group has forced around 1.4 million children in the Lake Chad region to flee.
Merely in the last five months , some 500,000 children have been forced to flee Boko Haram terrorists after an upsurge in attacks in Nigeria, Cameroon, Chad and Niger, the UN children's agency said.
"In northern Nigeria alone, nearly 1.2 million children – over half of them under 5 years old – have been forced to flee their homes. An additional 265,000 children have been uprooted in Cameroon, Chad and Niger," UNICEF said.
Boko Haram extremists controlled vast swathes of territory across three states in northeastern Nigeria at the beginning of 2015 but was pushed out by Nigerian troops with the help of Chad, Niger and Cameroon.
Now heavily splintered, Boko Haram factions have reverted to guerrilla tactics, raiding villages for supplies and bombing soft targets like places of worships, markets and bus stations.
Attacks spiked between the end of May through July though the rainy season has seen a relative lull over the last month.
The terrorists have been waging a six-year insurrection against the northeast of Nigeria that has killed thousands. Earlier this month, the International Organization for Migration revised upwards its estimate of those internally displaced by the conflict from 1.5 million to more than 2.1 million because of the recent surge in attacks.
In August newly elected Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari ordered a new set of military chiefs to end Boko Haram’s bloody six-year reign of terror within three months.
The Boko Haram terrorist group, whose name, in Hausa language, means Western education is forbidden, has also pledged allegiance to the ISIS terrorist group.
