According to a report from the HRW (Human Rights Watch), almost 130 people were “executed” in summary by a separate attack by Niger’s Islamic rebels.
The rights group said the gunmen conducted a series of cruel attacks, including mass murders in the mosque in the Western Tilla Berry region in June, and more than 70 worshipers died during prayer.
“A local woman who lost three sons by attack was cited by HRW.
It is a big blow to Niger’s military Junta’s reliability because he promised to restrain the rebellion after he chased President Mohamed Bazoum in 2023.
HRW has been killed by about 1,600 civilians after the coup, HRW said, HRW was killed by Niger’s Islamic State (IS) group fighter.
The Gihad Group also destroyed schools and religious sites and imposed serious restrictions on people’s freedom based on interpretation of Islam, HRW said.
“Islamic militant groups are targeting civilians in western Niger,” said HRW’s senior researcher.
“The Nigerian authorities should make more efforts to protect people living in the Tillabéri region,” he added.
The army has not yet mentioned the HRW report.
In May, when the fighter attacked the Dani Paris area and at least 12 homes, five men and two boys died.
“The body was scattered. There was a bullet full. There was no body with less than three bullets. The bullet hit people at the back,” HRW said.
“We found that the bodies of the two children were lying behind the back.”
Witnesses said the army did not respond appropriately to the warning of the attack, ignoring the request for the protection of the villagers, “HRW reported.”
HRW has not been responsible for the five attacks recorded by the rights group, but HRW said it could be identified by the red band turban worn.
The Tillabéri region has a boundary between Burkina Faso and Mali and has been the focus of rebellion over the past decade.
Together with the two neighbors ruled by the Niger -army, they formed an alliance to fight the jihadists and reduced the ties with the West to turn to Russia and Turkey for security demands.
However, violence must continue to present a more effective strategy to solve violence.
