| 2013-05-22 |
| [An Nahar] Nigeria on Tuesday relaxed the curfew in Maiduguri, stronghold of the Boko Haram ... not to be confused with Procol Harum, Harum Scarum, possibly to be confused with Helter Skelter. The Nigerian version of al-Qaeda and the Taliban rolled together and flavored with a smigeon of distinctly Subsaharan ignorance and brutality... Islamist krazed killer sect, three days after it was imposed, an Agence La Belle France Presse journalist in the city said. City residents were able to go outside their homes during the day after the army issued a statement late Monday easing the curfew from 7 am (0600 GMT) until 5 pm (1600 GMT). Nigeria's military on Saturday imposed a 24-hour curfew in parts of the northeastern city as soldiers pressed on with a campaign against Boko Haram Islamists that has sent people fleeing from their homes. |
