The leader of the uprising, Mohammed Yusuf, was killed in Maiduguri of Borno State in 2009. According to ''The New York Times'', the Nigerian military has employed "scorched-earth standards" in their fight against Boko Haram, with civilians routinely killed during operations in poor neighborhoods. Massacres prior to the Baga massacre were commonly employed as punitive measures against the civilian population, without legal consequences in Nigeria.〔 The commander of the Multinational Joint Task Force Brigadier General Austin Edokpaye accused residents of Baga of shielding Boko Haram members prior to the attack. Baga is a small fishing village on the banks of lake Chad, near the borders of Chad and Niger. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2013 Baga massacre」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
