Triple Suicide Bombing in Chad Kills at Least 27

Triple Suicide Bombing in Chad Kills at Least 27 - WSJ

DAKAR, Senegal—A Triple suicide bombing at a market on an island in Lake Chad has killed at least 27 people and injured 90 others, a Chad security official said.

Paul Manka, a Chad police spokesman, said three females carried out Saturday’s attack on Koulfoua Island.
Gen. Banyaman Cossingar, Chad gendarmerie director general, confirmed the attack, saying Nigerian Islamic extremist group Boko Haram is suspected.

The Lake Chad region, which straddles the borders of Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria, has been regularly targeted by the extremists. Chad’s government has already imposed a state of emergency in the area.

Boko Haram, the Nigerian Islamic extremist group whose six-year uprising has killed some 20,000 people, stepped up attacks this year in neighboring Chad, Niger and Cameroon after those countries agreed to help fight the insurgents.

Again nothing to do with Islam... ignore the man behind the curtain. Move along now.
 
Boko Haram are beyond evil.

Who remembers Baga (Nigeria) when they murdered an estimated 2000 civilians back in January 2015? They slaughtered civilians with rocket propelled grenades. It was largely ignored in the West because it occured the same time as the Charlie Hebdo incident. There was a thread here at the time that gained little interest.

Who remembers the mass abduction of the 200 schoolgirls last year? People were outraged about it for a week or so at the time. Most of the girls are still believed missing, presumed to have been sold into slavery. Unlike Islamic State, Boko Haram currently control territory in only one Country so Western Leaders really don't care what attrocities Boko Haram commit because they're not considered a threat to us.
 
All I know is that the good, decent people in every country are going to have to stand together and against Boko Haram, which slaughtered 150 college students in their classes and labs so recently.

This will mean betrayal of kin, a terrible thing. But somebody knows where all those kidnapped little girls are and has not spoken out. Stopping terrorism is going to take immense courage on the "somebody" level and will require individual acts of conscience.

nigerians are still better off than when European Christians controlled nigeria They used to sell 80,000 people a year and slaughtered millions, comparatively 20,000 dead over 6 years is far less violent then when christians ruled over them

thats because western leaders are to blame or atleast their countries are, england, france and america used this region as a slave colony for centuries, and still to this day, keeps them in debt. They would also have to talk about the numerous african christians who go on rampages like this and kill 20 or 30 innocent people, at a time, but that doesn't fit the narrative of the crazy muslims who want to kill everyone

boko haram was a fairly peaceful group until the government killed over 700 of them in one attack, they then became militant and joined ISIS 10 years after they were created

Oh. There can be absolutely no doubt that they are as bad as you say. But we should not forget that a guy like Assad has killed more and tortured more than has Boko Haram.
 
Yikes, let's not make this into a competition about who's "badder." All these terrorist groups and their mutant offshoots are awful. And I'm not really much interested in the opinions of apologists. I don't care what Boko Haram used to be or what their justifications are; what they do is evil and must be stopped.

well we kind of have to make it a conversation about "who's badder" because we have little to no clue about what is actually happening there, the fact that these islamic terrorists groups are all popping up in former european colonies isn't a coincidence.

Unless your saying places like Iraq and Nigeria should re-establish british rule, then your saying they have the right to self determination and a right to redraw their borders, I noticed very few people cared about the partition of the sudan yet everyone acts like partitioning iraq, syria or nigeria is any different. Why is that?
 
Unfortunately, Boko Haram may have used some of those kidnapped girls as suicide bombers. Someone, don't know who, but someone needs to go to Nigergia and wipe those monsters off the face of earth.
 
As I say, learning who they are and where these monsters hole up is going to require those who are there and who know them to betray them. Their brothers and neighbors are going to have to give them up.

Boko Haram is openly and publicly aligned with Al-Qaeda.The U.S. government is removing leaders in the Middle-East so that terrorist groups can gain a foothold.

You're saying that the U.S. government is supporting terrorist groups by helping them gain footholds?

Don't know why you're pointing out the obvious, no one listens, they all call for us to do more of the same. It's insane.

Yes. That's why I asked. And here's another question: Is this alleged U.S. government support of terrorist groups intentional?

Both British and US intelligence services have reported that the invasion and occupation of Iraq has caused an increase in global terror, and made the world less safe. Obama's policies in Egypt, Libya and Syria have exacerbated the problem further. If you haven't noticed the increasing terrorist attacks globally, or realize that the world is less safe, I wouldn't know why it would be necessary to prove that to you. I don't know the definitive answer to your question. But whether we are pursuing policies that have resulted in increased terror intentionally or because of incompetence doesn't matter to me, neither is comforting.

Ah Yes, then inevitable Leftist tu quoque apologism... board blight.
You really cannot start a string on Islamist/Jihadi Violence without some apologist dragging in the 'Crusades' etc.
Congrats/Bonus anarchist points for throwing in "keeping them in debt" (loaning then development money) Too.
Funny, I just posted on that 12 hours a ago:

"You can't start an Islam critique or News item without some Dickhead bringing up the Crusades or the 'Abortion clinic bombings'. The latter of which constitutes about .001% of the Daily carnage/Jihad in the NAME of Islam.."​
(No "Dickhead" offense intended in This case, just notation)

Of course, you Left ARABS out of the Slave Trade in Africa, and Africans Leaders themselves.
And Slaves still exist in Great number in the Arab world.

Nigerian civil rights group says tribal leaders' ancestors sold people to slavers and should say sorry like US and Britain

Traditional African rulers whose ancestors collaborated with European and Arab slave traders should follow Britain and the United States by publicly saying sorry, according to human rights organisations.
The Civil Rights Congress of Nigeria has written to tribal chiefs saying: "We cannot continue to blame the white men, as Africans, particularly the traditional rulers, are not blameless." The appeal has reopened a sensitive debate over the part some chiefs played in helping to capture their fellow Africans and sell them into bondage as part of the transatlantic slave trade..."

Yes. Of course is. The U.S. is intentionally trying to OUST Assad so that Al-Qaeda and ISIS can take over. We already know what happens when you depose dictators. It happened in Iraq, it happened in Libya. The U.S. government wants it to happen in Syria.

nobody is afraid of attacking muslims, if anything they're the only group its okay to openly talk about committing genocide against if you haven't noticed. i just dont feel the need to. this is a christian country 99.9% of my problems with religion that actually effect my life are due to christians if i was an atheist who lived in a muslim country i might care more, but i don't so why should i join in on the christian bigots bashing a religion they don't know the first thing about

The fact is these groups have barely anything to do with islam, blaming islam for isis is worse than blaming chritianity for the nazis, its like blaming christians for mexican drug cartels
 
Terrorist groups have everything to do with Islam, at least their version of it.
