Boko Haram fighters kill 11 farmers in Nigeria
TORONTO (AA): Members of the radical violent group Boko Haram have killed 11 farmers in an armed attack in Borno state in northeastern Nigeria, the local media reported.
Boko Haram raided Kawuri village in the Konduga Local Government Area and shot dead people who were working in a field, and wounded several others.
Thousands of people have lost their lives in acts of violence by Boko Haram, which has existed in Nigeria since the early 2000s.
The organization has also been carrying out attacks in the neighboring countries of Cameroon, Chad and Niger since 2015.
Boko Haram is a violent insurgent group that resists and rejects Western intervention in Africa and the Westernization of African education, society and culture. In pursuit of its agenda, the group has readily taken up indiscriminate violence which has intensified the suffering of the poverty-stricken, crisis-ridden region.
