Reprisal attacks in Nigeria’s Zamfara State kill 200 civilians

Abuja, January 10 (RHC)-- In Nigeria, some 200 people were killed in the northwestern state of Zamfara last week following a series of reprisal attacks by armed bandits whose hideouts were targeted by military airstrikes. 

Armed gunmen stormed over a dozen villages in the region, shooting at residents, looting and burning their homes. 

An estimated 10,000 people were displaced, while others are still missing.
