Francois Hollande: Boko Haram Committing Crime Against Humanity

 

French President, Francois Hollande has spoken against  the horrific killings and abduction by Boko Haram who are carrying out "crimes against humanity" in Nigeria.

“France must give more help to countries fighting this scourge,” he pledged.

“It’s not just women being kidnapped. That’s already atrocious enough. It’s children being massacred. It’s villages, whole towns being razed,” he said, in reference to recent Boko Haram attacks.

Boko Haram fighters detained hundreds of women and children at a school in the northeast Nigerian town of Baga after a massive attack earlier this month, one woman who was freed told reporters on Friday.
