ISIS-affiliate Boko Haram continues to terrorize the country
Nigerians go to the polls on Saturday to choose their next president in an election some Christian observers call a "matter of life and death," as ongoing violence prompts activists to call for the appointment of a U.S. special envoy to the country.
One fourth of the nation's 36 states have been devastated by radical Muslim attacks that have claimed up to 37,000 lives during the last 10 years, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. Terrorists belonging to the ISIS-affiliated Boko Haram insurgency in the northeast or radical Muslim militants of the Fulani tribes, who are attacking towns and cities in Nigeria's northwestern states, make up slightly more than half of the dead. The rest are innocent victims and Nigerian soldiers and police. Close to two million Nigerians have sought shelter in refugee camps.
Unknown gunmen killed 66 persons on the eve of presidential and parliamentary elections, according to Vanguard News Nigeria.

No American soldiers or any other Americans should be helping in Africa. Let those people deal with their own troubles, we have plenty here to deal with. Forget Africa, it is lost. After 100 years of trying to civilize that continent it is still a "Shit Hole Country".
Send all of the democrats in the senate and the house over there. Then don't let them come back
They don't want any HELP. Just like here in America. The blacks rather live and act like animals instead of decent people.
