A home for your ideas 07:42am on 03 Aug 2009 I am concerned by the very little attention the abuses of human rights by soldiars in the Boko Haram crisis. I think it has a lot to do with the uncanny nature of Nigerians to keep things like that quite. Wole Soyinka's "the man dies in all who keep silent in the face of tyranny" wasn't said without this peculiar attribute of Nigerians to sleep with oppression in the same bed, so as "not to disturb the peace" as they would put it. Countless acoounts recount instances of extra judicial killings but people prefer to pretend of it as a case of the security forces coming to rescue them from the Boko Haram, clearly because they don't want to incur the wrath of the authorities themselves. So what is the world going as soldiers, going from house to house, continue on this spree of unlawful waste of human lives.
