Welcome to Nigeria a country where civilians are always being killed by the country's air force and hardly killing the terrorist they're fighting
In April, around 200 civilians were killed in a similar airstrike on a weekly market in Jilli. The military has opened a probe into that incident.
So sad.
The Nigerian military is so weird. This is so abnormal
EU not listening Amnesty international. They never tried to fix ANYTHING what AI is warning!
Reminder…. Nigeria 🇳🇬 is considered one of the "safest " countries in Africa.
This is the 2nd time Civilians are "mistakenly" killed in an air strike. One time is a coincidence. Twice is a pattern.
EU please take note, UN, take note, Nigeria military are killing the people they are supposed to protect
They (chief of defence staff) said anybody associating with terrorists is fair game. I rephrase, but he meant buying from the same market as terrorists makes you a fair target. Look up the interview.
Lazy 😢
Russian nazism is when they say the country needs warriors, schools teach drones and the number of political prisoners grows and students are recruited for war under threat of expulsion
