Following the huge number of casualties recently suffered at the hands of the Chadian troops, the terrorist group, Boko Haram has planned to launch ethnic reprisal attacks against Arabic speakers in northern Nigeria.
Meanwhile, Chadian Arabic, also known as Shuwa Arabic, is spoken
by over a million people spread across southern Chad, northern Nigeria,
Cameroon, Central Africa Republic and Sudan.
Many of the refugees who camped in the Cameroonian villages of Amchoukouli, Wangara, Djabrari and Nigue were women and children. They revealed that Boko Haram militants had massacred all the men in their villages.
One of the affected women, a Nigerian refugee in Djabrari, who gave her name as Fanne, said Boko Haram fighters killed 25 men, adding that the terrorists forced the whole village to assemble before embarking on a killing spree.
“Nobody escaped. They shot some and slaughtered others with machetes and axes,” she said.
Fanne, like the hundred others who managed to escape the sect’s reprisal attacks, sleeps under a tree with the few belongings and domestic animals she took while fleeing to Cameroon. Many other refugees have moved further south to the main refugee camp in Minawao, which is reportedly overcrowded with over 33, 000 people currently living there.
