Zamfara: When It is Time to Farm
Across Zamfara state people are preparing their farms. But in many areas, to access their farms they have to negotiate with bandits. Today at Magamar Diddi village in Maradun LGA such a meeting started with 45 villagers, at the agreed time. Midway into the discussions, the bandits ended the negotiations and abducted 39 people, and asked the remaining 6 persons to go and inform the rest of the village about the abduction. Those abducted may face torture and starvation. This is the brutal pattern of life in many parts of 13 out of 14 local governments of the state. This is Nigeria’s forgotten conflict. The authorities’ failure to act has left villagers in Zamfara at the mercy of armed bandits, who have killed hundreds of people, raped women and razed entire villages:/Amnesty Internstional
