Boko Haram: They massacred 33 women of ISIS for revenge

Boko Haram Islamist terrorists killed at least 33 spouses of Islamic State (ISIS) fighters in retaliation for the death of ISIS fighters, according to the Daily Mail.

The order for the massacre is believed to have been given by its leader Boko Haram, Ali Nguldewho after ambushing a group of ISIS fighters in a forest in northeastern Nigeria, sent his troops to a nearby camp to execute their wives.

The massacre of the women was Boko Haram’s response to the death of its leader and 12 other fighters by members of ISIS.

Local ISIS fighters (ISWAP) were once part of Boko Haram, but they splintered and quickly became a formidable opponent, luring other Boko Haram members to join them, garnering the support of local civilians.

Northeast Nigeria is the epicenter of a jihadist insurgency launched by the Boko Haram group in 2009.

Boko Haram is one of the largest Islamic terrorist groups in Africa and seeks to overthrow Nigeria’s secular government in favor of an Islamic regime with strict adherence to Sharia law.

More than 40,000 people have died and around 2 million have been displaced during this long-running conflict, which has spread to neighboring Chad, Niger and Cameroon.

Boko Haram is known for its brutality, having committed a series of terrorist attacks and massacres and has a history of kidnapping civilians – particularly young women and girls.

A Reuters investigation has revealed that the Nigerian military ran a secret, systematic and illegal abortion program, terminating at least 10,000 pregnancies among women and girls kidnapped and raped by Islamic militants.

The rivalry between Boko Haram and the ISWAP it is a relatively new treaty and has added another violent complication to the ongoing war between the two terrorist groups and the Nigerian authorities.

ISWAP broke away from Boko Haram and forged deeper ties with civilian populations to cultivate its power and influence, according to a report by the Geneva-based Center for Security Sector Governance (DSAT).

Seeing the rise of ISWAP, other fighters defected to join the group, boosting its power and turning it into a permanent threat to Boko Haram and the Nigerian military.

The two warring groups now compete for influence in northeast and northwest Nigeria and have fought a series of brutal battles in recent months – although they share the same goal of implementing an Islamic regime in Nigeria.

ISWAP has managed to increase its power by forging a good relationship with the civilian populations around Lake Chad and northeastern Nigeria.

The group treats local populations with more compassion and allows them to develop businesses and trade, while seeking to improve local services.

Boko Haram meanwhile continues to live up to its ruthless reputation.

Last month, the jihadists they slaughtered at least 26 women accusing them of causing the sudden death of his children by their sorcery.

The senseless massacre, which began on Thursday November 10 and continued on Saturday the 12th, was carried out on the orders of Boko Haram commander Ali Guile, according to relatives and a woman who escaped.

Talkwe Linbe, one of the accused women, said she managed to escape and fled to the regional capital Maiduguri,
“He (Guillet) said he will investigate our involvement in the deaths of his children,” he said.

“On Thursday he ordered 14 of us to be slaughtered. I was lucky not to be among them.’

On Saturday, the day Talkwe Linbe arrived in Maiduguri, 12 more women were slaughtered on accusations of being witches, other relatives said, bringing the death toll to 26.

“I received a call from Gwoza that my mother, two aunts and nine other women were massacred yesterday (Saturday) on the orders of Ali Guile, who accused them of being witchesAbdullahi Ghiya, who lives in Maiduguri, told AFP.
