Terrorist Attacks in Zamfara State: A History of Injustice

Terrorist Attacks in Zamfara State: A History of Injustice

Zamfara State in northwestern Nigeria has been under attack by terrorists for several years. The attacks have caused widespread violence and displacement, and have left a legacy of #injustice.


The first major #terrorist attack in #Zamfara State occurred in 2011. A group of armed men attacked the village of Madalla, killing 44 people. The attack was claimed by the terrorist group Boko Haram.


Since then, there have been numerous terrorist attacks in Zamfara State. In 2013, a group of terrorists attacked the town of Shinkafi, killing 50 people. In 2014, a group of terrorists attacked the town of Anka, killing 30 people. And in 2015, a group of terrorists attacked the town of Zurmi, killing 50 people.

Thousands of people have been forced to flee their homes, and many have been killed. The attacks have also had a devastating impact on the economy of Zamfara State.


The government has been slow to respond to the attacks, and there have been numerous reports of human rights abuses by the security forces.


In 2016, Amnesty International reported that the Nigerian security forces had killed at least 100 civilians in Zamfara State. The report also found that the security forces had destroyed homes and property, and displaced thousands of people.
