Boko Haram launches new attacks -- 24 hr after ceasefire

Barely 24 hours after the federal government and Boko Haram agreed to a cease fire, the insurgents have struck again. ThisDay reports that Boko Haram attacked Borno and Adamawa between Friday and Saturday.

That's mighty short even for a 'hudna'. Wonder if they have Hamas advisors?

Possibly the person the government was negotiating with did not actually speak for Boko Haram, in which case there is even less reason for them to feel bound by it.

An unnamed source told reporters "just as we have started celebrating a ceasefire, we got news that these terrorists have attacked Borno again, giving us an indication that there was no such agreement or, perhaps, they are more than a terror group."

The regions attacked are Maikadiri in Abadam Local Government Area, in northern Borno State, and Sina and Grata villages in Michika Local Government Area in Adamawa State. An undisclosed number of people were killed in the attacks. Many are feared dead.
