Nigerian Refugees Ordered Back To Unsafe Region

  • 6 years ago
REuters reports that Nigerian government officials have ordered thousands of displaced people to return to an unsafe area. This as pressure mounts to show progress in the war against Islamist groups ahead of a presidential election.
Those who have gone back say they only did so because the officials told them they would get no more aid if they remained in refugee camps. Returnees say their home area of Guzamala in the northeast is not safe. They say they cannot earn a living there.
