The United Nations’ Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has warned that a “deeper and broader suffering, unlike anything seen to date” is looming in Nigeria’s north-east if authorities do not act.
Borno State, North-East Nigeria, for the first time since 2011, witnessed a very peaceful Sallah celebration following the decision by the state government and security agencies not to restrict movement as security situation in the region improves.
