news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.
If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

the country is almost split even between northern majority muslim half and southern majority christian half. i think islam is around 55% and christianity 45%. if i had to guess christians are probably more represented in the government but don't quote me on that.
the main concern in nigeria is boko haram (which was affiliated with ISIS) and gangs and bandits affiliated with boko haram. it mainly operates in the muslim majority north and attacks shias and christians but also general stealing, looting and kidnapping. i don't know how strong they are now (certainly weaker than 2015-2016) but i would imagine it's mostly compromised of thugs trying to scare people by using the name of boko haram.
i don't know how a new military campaign could destroy this but i don't think the trump admin know either and they're still doing it. they just want to kill brown people it's not that deep.
Seems similar to the Somalia strategy of the US: Split Somalia into two new nations. Somaliland could be recognized by the US in return for political loyalty. Somaliland will host military bases and refugees from US-Detention.
