Ten-year-olds armed to the teeth and trained to kill in the name of Islam: Boko Haram release images of their child soldiers being trained in Nigeria
Nigerian terror group Boko Haram is training child soldiers how to use semi-automatic weapons.
The group has released pictures showing more than a dozen children posing with, and learning how to aim, AK-47′s.
The images appear to have been taken in northern Nigeria where Boko Haram has committed most of its attacks.
They were published online by Al Urwa al Wuthaqa, a media group that has been associated with the insurgents, and come months after Human Rights Watch warned that boys and girls kidnapped by the terrorist group were being used during their attacks.
Just days ago Boko Haram were suspected of kidnapping at least 30 children, including girls as young as 11, in a village north of the country. A week earlier the terrorists snatched around 40 women in Adamawa State.
In April the group came to international attention after it snatched 200 schoolgirls in the Chibok village and in January they killed at least 2,000 people, in Baga, Borno state.
Following the mass killing, the Christian Association of Nigerians and Americans called for the UN to help Nigeria combat Boko Haram. It said the group had killed more than 10,000 people in 2014.
In a statement it said: ‘We are no longer certain what the world through the UN is waiting for before taking drastic actions.
‘The numbers are adding up fast and it is becoming clearer and clearer that the Nigerian governments both federal and states are failing resoundingly in their responsibility to protect innocent lives. Canan continues to be concerned about relief for the victims of terrorism in Nigeria.’
Pastor Laolu Akande, the association’s executive director, told the International Business Times that Boko Haram can only be defeated if the Nigerian military is backed up internationally.
He said Nigeria had been trying to defeat the terrorist for four years, but ‘Nigerian forces are too weak’.
Pastor Akande said: ‘It is time for international force of the calibre of the UN to deploy troops in that part of Nigeria. This has to be done and it cannot be ignored any more.’
He said Nigerians deserved the same attention and support as the victim’s of the Paris terrorist attacks earlier this month.
‘It is important to understand that what is happening in Nigeria is a genocide, like the one occurred in Rwanda in 1994, and the world did not intervene to stop it. The UN has the responsibility to protect Nigeria. Boko Haram members are very despicable and brutal and every person in the world has to rise and say no to this violence.’
This is just the beginning in what will shape up into an eventual world war. Whether moderate Islam practitioners want to admit it or not all the things that are happening around the world with Islamic terrorists will eventually blow up in all our faces and begin a world war that will probably be one that will be more horrendous than the first and second world war. This time we are not facing enemies that want control of countries…this time it will be about decimating entire races and religions and a world domination agenda that wishes to control all hearts and minds. It will be about accepting their beliefs or dying. Unfortunately while this is going on other enemies that wish the destruction of the west will get involved but they will have nothing to do with religion, they will be all about destruction. It is hard to describe how deadly and destructive a third world war will be. We can all only hope that the nations of the world will do something before it gets to this stage. Unfortunately if they follow the path that nations followed in the past wars then what is to come will be inevitable. A religious war could set mankind back at least one hundred years. I only pray that I am wrong and that those who believe this scenario are wrong for the sake of our children and our grandchildren and all mankind.
