MAIDUGURI, Nigeria (AP) — Officials say Islamic militants have burned 11 people to death inside their homes in northeastern Nigeria, where frequent attacks have claimed at least 130 lives in the past four days alone.

“The attack late Monday on Jakana village in Borno state occurred about 6 miles (10 kilometers) from a village where 39 people were slaughtered on Saturday, said Nigerian Senator Ahmed Zannah.

“Violence has escalated in recent weeks in three northeastern Nigerian states that have been under emergency rule for over nine months.”

I thought that France was operating (from Niger) into Nigeria to protect the people from Boko Haram, so how’d this happen?
