tension et guerre civile au Nigeria

Citation :

The kidnap of more than 200 Nigerian schoolgirls focused the world’s attention on hardline Islamist group Boko Haram and its murderous rampage through the country’s north.

But Dateline’s [url=http://www.sbs.com.au/dateline/reporter/about/id/31/n/Evan Williams]Evan Williams[/url] has uncovered shocking allegations that the Nigerian Government’s fightback includes gross human rights abuses.

The Nigerian Army has enlisted civilian militia to help flush out the terrorist group, but dozens of graphic videos and eyewitness testimonies appear to show the militia beating and torturing villagers in the campaign to drive out Boko Haram.

The videos also appear to show the Nigerian Army involved in summary executions of villagers.

Civilians now live in fear of the very people who are supposed to protect them, and there's concern it may actually be strengthening the Boko Haram insurgency.

Nigeria’s government has dismissed the videos as fake, but a leading human rights lawyer tells Evan that, on the evidence he’s seen, war crimes have been committed.
