"She said she was scared because she knew she would kill people. But she was also frightened of going against the instructions of the men who brought her to the camp," said Modu Awami, a self-defence fighter who helped question the girl.


This is a powerful story. I got the impression however, that she somehow didn't think she would die. As in like, if I were told to suicide bomb some place, you're damn sure i'm not going to be afraid of disobeying their orders(Unless some specific arrangement like "You don't do this and i'll kill your family"). I would be thinking about how to escape, actually going through with it would be the last option, and I definitely wouldn't choose that option because I was scared of what they would do to me if I didn't.

Thoughts?

Well there have been cases where captured child suicide bombers in Afghanistan are told that they don't die, that the vests only explode outwards. I'm definitely don't put it beyond piles of human feces like Boko Haram to say the same thing.

or give the bomber a plunger activator, but the vest is actually RC and they're watching for a good time to set it off.

And who the fuck sends a suicide bomber into a 3rd world shit hole refugee camp? Like it isn't shitty enough already ? How much shittier will it be with a fucking crater and scattered gore ?

Sooner or later we will have to go Old Testament on those guys.

Because shitty extremists and shitty religion that's why.

Brave girl.

I'm scared for her now though

. . . and the refugee camp would remain on the target list.


Suppose someone might post a guard or two prior to the inevitable sequel ??

My thoughts? The men that put her up for it are cowardly. Majority of Nigerians don't want a Caliphate, and they know that so that have to use violence. And they are butthurt that more people don't support them. More evidence that governments around the world need to stop being friends with al-Saud. al-Saud spreads the sorts of Fascism Boko Haram like around the world with their Mosques and Imams. But Western leaders turn a blind eye because it suits them.
