On 6 July 2013, gunmen attacked a secondary school in Mamudo, Yobe State, Nigeria, killing at least 42 people. Most of the dead were students, with a few staff members also killed.〔 ==Background== (詳細はBoko Haram (sometimes referred to as the Nigerian Taliban) was founded in 2002 to fight against the Westernization of Nigeria, which the group maintains is the root cause of criminal behaviour in that country.〔 From 2009 to 2013, violence linked to the Boko Haram insurgency resulted in 3,600 deaths, including 1,600 civilians.〔〔 In mid-May 2013, Nigeria declared a state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe States, as it aimed to end the Boko Haram insurgency.〔 The resulting crackdown has led to the capture or killing of hundreds of Boko Haram members, with the remainder retreating to mountainous areas from which they have increasingly targeted civilians.〔 Since 2010, Boko Haram has targeted schools, killing hundreds of students. A spokesperson said such attacks would continue as long as government soldiers continued to interfere with traditional Koran-based education. More than 10,000 children are no longer able to attend school due to attacks by the Boko Haram.〔 Roughly 20,000 people fled Yobe State to Cameroon during June 2013 to escape the violence.〔 In June 2013, Nigerian soldiers beat students at a Koran-based school, angering Boko Haram members.〔 A 16 June attack by Boko Haram militants killed seven children, two teachers, two soldiers, and two militants. The next day, militants killed nine students who were taking exams. On 4 July, gunmen attacked and killed a school headmaster and his family.〔 Mamudo is from Potiskum town, a commercial center and focal point of the Boko Haram insurgency.〔 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「Yobe State school shooting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
