    Ny herin'ny fiainana andavanandro any amin'ny faritra ambanivohitra ao Nigeria dia hitohy indray, saingy ankehitriny dia misy ny ahiahy sy ny tahotra mitranga, indrindra ny fanafihana mety hitranga avy amin'ny Boko Haram. Misy ireo olom-pirenena Nigeriana mampiseho herim-po, miezaka mandresy ny tahotra sy manangana hoavy tsara ho an'ny firenena.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    I Rebecca Solomon dia manatanteraka ny adidiny andavanandro ao Chibok, kanefa nahitana endrika ratsy ny fiainany taorian'ny fanafihana nitranga tamin'ny 14 aprily 2014, izay nandrava ny fianakaviany sy ny fiainany noho ny fisamborana ny zanany vavy, Deborah, sy ny namany 200 tao amin'ny sekoly. Nanangana ezaka ny rehetra hanavotana azy ireo.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Ny fanafihana an'ireo zazavavy, izay fantatra amin'ny anarana hoe "Bring Back Our Girls", dia nahitana fanehoan-kevitra maneran-tany sy niteraka fientanam-po ho an'ny fanjakana Nigeriana, izay niseho ho sahirana tamin'ny famerenana ireo zazavavy.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    Ny Boko Haram, tarihin'i Abu Bakr Shekau, dia mandrahona mandravaka ny fizarana na inona na inona ara-politika, sy manery ny namana politika ho am-patom-pitehirizana ny hery. Izy ireo dia manovo ho an'ny fanjakana sy ny fanabeazana ho an'ny tanora.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

    Raha nanomboka ny ady tamin'ny Boko Haram, dia niteraka fahavoazana tampoka sy ny firosoana am-pahasahiana ireo mpamono terrorista, ary ny Boko Haram dia nangataka anjara amin'ny fiainana politika ao Nigeria.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:30:00

    Amin'izao fotoana izao, na dia ekena aza ny herisetra sy ny fihetsiketsehana, dia mitaky fepetra mivaingana araka izay mifamadi-pianarana ataon'ny Boko Haram ny fanjakana Nigeriana, na dia eo aza ny vokatra voaray nandritra ny fanafihan'ny tafika.

  • 00:30:00 - 00:35:00

    Ny Boko Haram dia tany am-pitsarana tamin'ny firaisankina ara-tsaina sy ara-bola, toy ny fandoavana hetra amin'ny sehatra samihafa. Nikatona ny làlan'ny fanjakana sy ireo olom-pirenena, indrindra any amin'ny faritra avaratra atsinanana - indrindra ny ao Maiduguri.

  • 00:35:00 - 00:40:00

    Nanomboka ny androm-panjakana nitehirizina ny ady, ny Boko Haram, izay seho amin'ny endriny henjana, dia nanatsara ny hafainganam-pandeha sy ny zava-misy, miaraka amin'ireo tondrozotra manomboka ahitana araka ny fandehan-javatra.

  • 00:40:00 - 00:45:00

    Hatramin'ny nahalasa ny raharaha ho tokony hamehana sy nandrehitra ny tarehimarika vaovao, dia midika izany fa ny fandehan-javatra izay manam-pahaizana amin'ny fanabeazana sy ny fanombohana dia ho an'ny tanora mpianatra mizara ho an'ny fiaviana sy ny famerenam-pahaizana.

  • 00:45:00 - 00:54:58

    Ambany ny fahantrana sy ny fitsinjovana maharitra ao amin'ny faritra avaratra atsinanana ao Nigeria. Olona 2 tapitrisa no voatery niala nanandrana ny ho sarotra tamin'ny ady sy ny fahantrana.

    each morning in the town of chibok
  • 00:01:35
    Rebecca Solomon goes about her chores
  • 00:01:42
    but what may appear a simple life became
  • 00:01:44
    for her a nightmare that began on April
  • 00:01:47
    14 2014.
  • 00:02:01
    that evening Rebecca's daughter Deborah
  • 00:02:03
    was staying overnight in a government
  • 00:02:05
    School dormitory preparing to take exams
  • 00:02:07

    other girls exposed to the world Boko

    haram's ruthlessness as well as the
  • 00:03:07
    dysfunction of Nigeria's government and
  • 00:03:09
    Military and it stirred many Nigerians
  • 00:03:12
    to take action on their own
  • 00:03:17
    had planned a career as a human
  • 00:03:20
    resources consultant in Abuja Nigeria's
  • 00:03:22
    capital
  • 00:03:24
    but then to 2014
  • 00:03:26
    happened and that just opened me up to
  • 00:03:32
    another life entirely
  • 00:03:36
    bookie became a Frontline campaigner for
  • 00:03:39
    the Bring Back Our Girls movement
  • 00:03:52
    will stop us we will keep coming up
  • 00:03:58
    what do we want aided by social media to
  • 00:04:02
    Bring Back Our Girls campaign sparked
  • 00:04:04
    worldwide condemnation of Boko Haram
  • 00:04:07
    [Music]
  • 00:04:16
    like millions of people across the globe
  • 00:04:18
    my husband and I are outraged and
  • 00:04:22
    heartbroken over the kidnapping of more
  • 00:04:25
    than 200 Nigerian girls from their
  • 00:04:27
    school dormitory in the middle of the
  • 00:04:30
    night
  • 00:04:31
    Boko haram's leader Abu Bakr shekau
  • 00:04:34
    capitalized on the group's sudden
  • 00:04:36
    notoriety threatening to convert the
  • 00:04:39
    girls to Islam marry them after his
  • 00:04:41
    commanders or sell them into slavery
  • 00:04:48
    it was personal this is simply because I
  • 00:04:52
    was once that girl
  • 00:04:55
    even though I've not been abducted
  • 00:04:57
    before but I know what it means to be
  • 00:04:59
    sexually molested I know what it means
  • 00:05:01
    to have to do something because you want
  • 00:05:04
    to stay alive with the International
  • 00:05:06
    Community watching the Nigerian
  • 00:05:09
    government issued promises to save the
  • 00:05:11
    girls but the lack of Swift action
  • 00:05:13
    angered parents if the government cannot
  • 00:05:17
    take action we are asking for the United
  • 00:05:19
    Nation to come in and help us or if the
  • 00:05:22
    new United Nations reject us we just
  • 00:05:25
    don't know what to do
  • 00:05:26
    within two weeks of the chibok
  • 00:05:28
    kidnappings bookie had made up her mind
  • 00:05:30
    to stay on the front lines and keep
  • 00:05:32
    protesting until the
  • 00:05:34
    came home
  • 00:05:36
    and we were screaming like 15 old days
  • 00:05:40
    some parents have not seen their
  • 00:05:41
    children 15 old days where are they and
  • 00:05:45
    then we had to commemorate 30 days
  • 00:05:48
    and we could not live with that reality
  • 00:05:52
    in truth the reality was worse bookie
  • 00:05:56
    had no idea at the time but the 30 days
  • 00:05:58
    would eventually stretch into more than
  • 00:06:01
    three years
  • 00:06:05
    Nigeria
  • 00:06:08
    rich in oil and natural gas
  • 00:06:11
    a nation seeking to present itself as
  • 00:06:14
    the image of modern Africa
  • 00:06:18
    but a country that is far from United
  • 00:06:22
    180 million people plus
  • 00:06:25
    250 ethnic groups thereabouts this is a
  • 00:06:28
    difficult country to govern at the best
  • 00:06:30
    of times
  • 00:06:32
    splitting the north from the oil Ridge
  • 00:06:34
    South are cultural and economic fault
  • 00:06:36
    lines that date far back to Nigeria's
  • 00:06:38
    Colonial past
  • 00:06:40
    in the predominantly Rural and
  • 00:06:41
    traditionally Muslim Northeast that
  • 00:06:44
    fault line is fragile
  • 00:06:48
    although Nigeria collects billions of
  • 00:06:49
    dollars selling its oil each year more
  • 00:06:52
    than 60 percent of Nigerians live in
  • 00:06:54
    poverty many on less than two dollars a
  • 00:06:57
    day
  • 00:06:59
    in the Northeast the poverty rate is
  • 00:07:02
    even higher
  • 00:07:03
    we're speaking about Northeastern
  • 00:07:06
    Nigeria that is really one of the most
  • 00:07:08
    published and marginalized regions of
  • 00:07:10
    the country this is a region that had
  • 00:07:13
    one of the lowest literacy rates in the
  • 00:07:15
    country one of the highest infant
  • 00:07:17
    mortality rates in Nigeria so things the
  • 00:07:20
    the nature of governance was really poor
  • 00:07:22
    to begin with and people were frustrated
  • 00:07:24
    and seeing the growing levels of
  • 00:07:26
    inequality in this community poverty and
  • 00:07:30
    inequality along with neglect by those
  • 00:07:32
    with political power helped sow a
  • 00:07:35
    rebellious brand of Islam in the
  • 00:07:37
    Northeast
  • 00:07:38
    its leaders took as their model one of
  • 00:07:41
    the world's most brutal and dogmatic
  • 00:07:43
    islamist movement it was at that time in
  • 00:07:45
    2003 that there was a community of
  • 00:07:48
    individuals
  • 00:07:50
    that moved to the Borderlands of Nigeria
  • 00:07:52
    and Niger in an attempt to create a
  • 00:07:55
    purist Islamic Society based on the
  • 00:07:58
    model of the Taliban in Afghanistan
  • 00:08:01
    originally the group was peaceful and
  • 00:08:03
    its message inclusive what they preached
  • 00:08:06
    to us we have an alternative system if
  • 00:08:09
    the system you believe in does not value
  • 00:08:11
    you and leaves you out we will not do
  • 00:08:15
    that
  • 00:08:15
    we will include we are more inclusive we
  • 00:08:18
    will take care of you we are doing
  • 00:08:20
    Allah's will and we will Define our own
  • 00:08:24
    society and alternative society that is
  • 00:08:26
    just and good so that was very appealing
  • 00:08:29
    especially for people who felt left out
  • 00:08:32
    but eventually this alternative Society
  • 00:08:35
    split
  • 00:08:37
    the leader of its dominant faction
  • 00:08:39
    wanted a pure form of Islam and an
  • 00:08:42
    outright Insurrection against the
  • 00:08:44
    government
  • 00:08:46
    his name Muhammad Yusuf
  • 00:08:49
    Yusuf was intelligent and charismatic
  • 00:08:52
    but bent on confrontation
  • 00:08:55
    people began calling his movement Boko
  • 00:08:58
    Haram literally Western education is
  • 00:09:02
    forbidden
  • 00:09:04
    although the group disavowed the name
  • 00:09:05
    and still does it captured yusuf's
  • 00:09:08
    essential beliefs he preached that
  • 00:09:10
    Western values were undermining Islam
  • 00:09:13
    and he called for a holy war
  • 00:09:17
    difficult for the West to understand
  • 00:09:20
    Jihad in part because our modern
  • 00:09:23
    societies by their very nature
  • 00:09:25
    essentially secular
  • 00:09:28
    we've we've come to terms that religion
  • 00:09:31
    is not a reasonable Pathway to organize
  • 00:09:34
    modern society
  • 00:09:37
    whereas those who are pushing for Jihad
  • 00:09:40
    are saying that religion is the correct
  • 00:09:42
    way to shape a righteous
  • 00:09:45
    Muslim Society a land of faithful
  • 00:09:48
    Muslims so invariably those two
  • 00:09:52
    positions are going to be extremely
  • 00:09:54
    difficult to reconcile
  • 00:09:57
    okay
  • 00:09:59
    yusuf's base was the northeastern city
  • 00:10:01
    of maiduguri the capital of Borno State
  • 00:10:05
    as his sermons became more militant
  • 00:10:08
    tensions with local authorities grew
  • 00:10:12
    then in 2009 Boko Haram exploded into
  • 00:10:16
    Nigeria's wider consciousness
  • 00:10:19
    that June police clashed with some of
  • 00:10:22
    yusuf's followers on their way to a
  • 00:10:23
    funeral wounding more than a dozen
  • 00:10:27
    foreign
  • 00:10:35
    Yusuf denounced the government actions
  • 00:10:37
    and a few weeks later his followers
  • 00:10:39
    struck back
  • 00:10:41
    with guns and grenades they attacked
  • 00:10:43
    police stations in several cities with
  • 00:10:45
    the heaviest assault in my degree over
  • 00:10:49
    four days of fighting the police
  • 00:10:51
    response was merciless
  • 00:10:56
    ended up Boko Haram suspects killing
  • 00:10:58
    them in the street
  • 00:11:02
    move out
  • 00:11:04
    they destroyed yusuf's mosque then they
  • 00:11:07
    captured him and took him for
  • 00:11:09
    interrogation
  • 00:11:10
    thank you
  • 00:11:12
    hours later his body was in the street
  • 00:11:16
    he'd been shot multiple times
  • 00:11:19
    and he became a martyrdom figure to Boko
  • 00:11:22
    Haram and since 2009 until today all
  • 00:11:26
    factions of Boko Haram consider him
  • 00:11:28
    their inspiration more than a thousand
  • 00:11:31
    people died in four days of fighting
  • 00:11:33
    that July
  • 00:11:34
    afterward Boko Haram disappeared
  • 00:11:38
    but when they returned a year later it
  • 00:11:41
    was with more weapons and a new leader
  • 00:11:45
    a bombastic and violent use of deputy
  • 00:11:49
    Abu Bakr shekau
  • 00:11:52
    he proclaimed all-out War
  • 00:11:57
    their argument is a very simple one
  • 00:11:59
    you've come up after us
  • 00:12:02
    you've killed many of us you've killed
  • 00:12:05
    us literally by the thousands
  • 00:12:07
    you feel you've decimated our community
  • 00:12:09
    we will fight back now we will take
  • 00:12:12
    Jihad to you
  • 00:12:14
    over the next four years Boko Haram put
  • 00:12:17
    the Nigerian military and civilian
  • 00:12:19
    Security Forces on their heels
  • 00:12:22
    within that period
  • 00:12:24
    the militancy and the Insurgency of Boko
  • 00:12:27
    Haram grew stronger and stronger and
  • 00:12:29
    it's in this context that Boko Haram was
  • 00:12:31
    able to acquire a land a quiet territory
  • 00:12:33
    with limited Nigerian response
  • 00:12:37
    Boko Haram expanded its domain

    living with her family in my degree at
  • 00:13:01
    the time Boko Haram began its assault in
  • 00:13:03
    2010.
  • 00:13:05
    we were known for being very traditional
  • 00:13:08
    conservative people and we all knew our
  • 00:13:11
    neighbors it was a very diverse
  • 00:13:13
    Community before Boko Haram
  • 00:13:18
    within months fatty became a witness to
  • 00:13:20
    the wholesale destruction of her
  • 00:13:22
    hometown I watched everything happen
  • 00:13:24
    from the tension the Bomb Blast the dead
  • 00:13:28
    bodies on the streets you know the
  • 00:13:30
    houses burning sometimes our house would
  • 00:13:33
    Shake because of a Bomb Blast
  • 00:13:35
    people soon fled
  • 00:13:38
    fatty and her family left in late 2012.
  • 00:13:42
    at the time they were killing boys and
  • 00:13:46
    kidnapping girls so my parents were not
  • 00:13:49
    comfortable with that and then we moved
  • 00:13:51
    to Abuja and I lived there for six
  • 00:13:54
    months before I
  • 00:13:57
    I went to London to study fatty
  • 00:14:00
    completed her studies in London writing
  • 00:14:02
    a dissertation about the effects of War
  • 00:14:04
    on the psychological health of refugees
  • 00:14:08
    she found an outlet to help her cope
  • 00:14:10
    with the loss she felt as a refugee
  • 00:14:13
    herself
  • 00:14:20
    all that was happening around my degree
  • 00:14:22
    and I was really interested in how you
  • 00:14:25
    can do visual storytelling and still
  • 00:14:28
    have an impact on the community
  • 00:14:32
    fatty returned to my degree in 2015.
  • 00:14:37
    when I came back people had become
  • 00:14:39
    desensitized you know it was like a
  • 00:14:42
    transformation they didn't even feel any
  • 00:14:45
    of it they just kept going so that was
  • 00:14:47
    what you know had my attention
  • 00:14:50
    thank you
  • 00:14:51
    fatty imagined another side of the place
  • 00:14:54
    she called home a Humane side she wanted
  • 00:14:57
    to show the world
  • 00:14:59
    it was the opposite of the images of war
  • 00:15:02
    and destruction of flooding the global
  • 00:15:04
    news
  • 00:15:05
    from the deluded propaganda of Boko
  • 00:15:07
    Haram
  • 00:15:11
    in its videos Boko haram's leader shakao
  • 00:15:15
    glorified the group's violence in the
  • 00:15:17
    name of Islam but hidden inside his
  • 00:15:20
    secretive caliphate the reality was
  • 00:15:23
    starkly different
  • 00:15:26
    Boko Haram brutalized fellow Muslims
  • 00:15:30
    beating and killing them at will to
  • 00:15:32
    maintain control and religious piety
  • 00:15:37
    graphic evidence of the group's conduct
  • 00:15:39
    surfaced in 2016 when voice of America
  • 00:15:42
    journalists obtained and authenticated
  • 00:15:45
    some 18 hours of videos shot by Boko
  • 00:15:48
    haram's own photographers
  • 00:15:50
    the raw footage is an unflinching record
  • 00:15:53

  • 00:15:55
    deadliest extremist movements operates

    the accused

    just a bullet in the heart

    State itself so government offices

    and more aggrieved

    its targets widened and widened until

    the media characterizes Boko Haram as

    madman as crazy as Psychopaths
  • 00:17:28
    but what we can see in the footage of
  • 00:17:31
    the foot soldiers is that in many
  • 00:17:33
    respects they go around their daily
  • 00:17:36
    business just like kids in any other
  • 00:17:38
    part of the world
  • 00:17:41
    we also see them receiving pep talks

    before battle where they're told some of
  • 00:17:47
    you are going to die and some soldiers
  • 00:17:49
    are going to die the difference is the

    soldiers aren't going to go to paradise
  • 00:17:53
    and you are
  • 00:17:55
    and this goes to show that ideology

    plays a very important part of

    it's impossible to know how many

    women
  • 00:19:28
    young or old Christian or Muslim
  • 00:19:34
    the Chicago faction of Boko Haram has a
  • 00:19:38
    belief system whereby any Muslim that
  • 00:19:42
    does not join their group
  • 00:19:44
    is an apostate
  • 00:19:46
    because they are fighting a legitimate
  • 00:19:49
    Jihad and therefore the idea that a
  • 00:19:52
    Muslim would get killed in a Boko Haram
  • 00:19:55
    attack either because they're targeted
  • 00:19:58
    or because it's collateral damage is
  • 00:20:00
    really not something that the Chicago
  • 00:20:02
    faction worries about
  • 00:20:04
    because their penalty for not joining
  • 00:20:06
    the group and being apostates is death
  • 00:20:08
    anyway
  • 00:20:11
    2015 marked a shift in the war
  • 00:20:17
    the Nigerian Army aided by military from
  • 00:20:19
    neighboring Chad Cameroon and Niger
  • 00:20:22
    began reclaiming towns and territories
  • 00:20:25
    once under Boko haram's control
  • 00:20:29
    the momentum quickened under a new
  • 00:20:32
    president
  • 00:20:32
    muhammadu buhari elected that year
  • 00:20:39
    but the government's success also
  • 00:20:42
    brought disturbing allegations of Human
  • 00:20:44
    Rights abuses excesses by the military
  • 00:20:48
    and civilian vigilantes in their Zeal to
  • 00:20:51
    defeat Boko Haram
  • 00:20:54
    Amnesty International cited thousands of
  • 00:20:56
    summary executions arbitrary arrests and
  • 00:21:00
    instances of torture by Nigerian forces
  • 00:21:03
    war crimes the group said went
  • 00:21:05
    unpunished
  • 00:21:08
    the Nigerian government
  • 00:21:10
    somehow have some doubts in what amnesty
  • 00:21:15
    is doing but all the same they have come
  • 00:21:20
    clean and set up a presidential task
  • 00:21:23
    force and you have to take into account
  • 00:21:26
    the composition of members of the panel
  • 00:21:31
    they are not people that could be
  • 00:21:33
    manipulated they can be manipulated and
  • 00:21:36
    they are judges of repute and we wait
  • 00:21:40
    and see the results
  • 00:21:42
    as the government ramped up its pursuit
  • 00:21:45
    of Boko Haram Abu Bakr shekau changed
  • 00:21:48
    his strategy too
  • 00:21:50
    Boko Haram officially aligned with the
  • 00:21:53
    Islamic State
  • 00:21:55
    or Isis the Jihadi group Waging War in
  • 00:21:59
    Iraq and Syria
  • 00:22:01
    Chicago in 2015 formally pledged
  • 00:22:06
    allegiance to Isis and Isis responded to
  • 00:22:09
    this
  • 00:22:10
    some see this as because this coincided
  • 00:22:13
    with the time when bookingham was coming
  • 00:22:15
    under increasing pressure from the
  • 00:22:17
    Nigerian military it was being pushed
  • 00:22:19
    back after this you had the pledge of
  • 00:22:22
    allegiance to Isis so it's read as
  • 00:22:25
    actually this is something of a
  • 00:22:27
    desperate move on the part of of bokaham
  • 00:22:34
    Boko Haram could claim affiliation with
  • 00:22:37
    the largest Jihadi group in the world it
  • 00:22:39
    began using Islamic State templates in
  • 00:22:42
    its social media postings but it was an

    at least three times the Nigerian

    only one facet of her world
  • 00:24:21
    Aisha knows the Sambisa well it was

    now instead of hunting Antelope baboons
  • 00:24:56
    and birds
  • 00:24:57
    Aisha goes after a different prey
  • 00:25:01
    Boko Haram militants she is part of a
  • 00:25:05
    group of hunters who go out in search of
  • 00:25:07
    insurgents ready to fight if the
  • 00:25:09
    situation arises
  • 00:25:45
    at the start of their patrol the hunters

  • 00:26:30
    thank you

    Aisha and her team not only search for

    insurgents they're also on the lookout
  • 00:26:40
    for captives fleeing from Boko Haram
  • 00:26:42
    camps
  • 00:26:46
    their stories can be heartbreaking
  • 00:26:49
    hmm
  • 00:26:51
    urians anymore
  • 00:27:24
    Aisha's efforts fighting Boko Haram
  • 00:27:27
    earned her the respect of fellow

    villagers
  • 00:27:29
    call her
  • 00:27:31
    Queen Hunter
  • 00:27:44
    later that day Aisha and her band
  • 00:27:46
    apprehended three Boko Haram Fighters
  • 00:27:49
    they delivered them to authorities by
  • 00:27:51
    truck
  • 00:27:53
    a commotion of curious villagers
  • 00:27:55
    parading behind them
  • 00:27:57
    cool success like this inspires her to
  • 00:28:01
    continue the work
  • 00:28:03
    despite the danger
  • 00:28:09
    ous
  • 00:28:27
    they appear in seemingly endless streams
  • 00:28:30
    fleeing Terror bringing with them only
  • 00:28:33
    what they can carry
  • 00:28:36
    day and night they've lost their homes
  • 00:28:40
    their Farms their livestock
  • 00:28:43
    in the worst case is their children and
  • 00:28:47
    for now they have no hope of returning
  • 00:28:52
    the world knows Boko Haram mostly
  • 00:28:54
    through reports of bombings kidnappings
  • 00:28:56
    and suicide attacks but the Insurgency
  • 00:28:59
    has also made millions of Nigerians
  • 00:29:02
    homeless
  • 00:29:04
    and laid waste to the rural economy that

    herders narrowly escaped a Boko Haram
  • 00:30:33
    surprise attack with their cattle
  • 00:30:35
    they're aware that next time they may
  • 00:30:38
    not be so lucky
  • 00:30:42
    because

    terrorized and having to run away from
  • 00:31:03
    the place they've been able to work for
  • 00:31:05
    a long time we were told that farmers do
  • 00:31:07
    have seeds we were told that farmers do
  • 00:31:09
    still have some of the tools what they
  • 00:31:11
    don't have is the confidence to go back
  • 00:31:13
    to their land because they're worried
  • 00:31:15
    that if they're men they'll be shot
  • 00:31:16
    they're worried that if they're a woman
  • 00:31:18
    they'll be raped or kidnapped so the key
  • 00:31:21
    issue here is security
  • 00:31:22
    okay
  • 00:31:26
    although the Nigerian military has
  • 00:31:28
    recaptured and garrisoned some larger

  • 00:33:00
    families wind up in the camps for the
  • 00:33:03
    displaced that have sprung up across the
  • 00:33:05
    Northeast
  • 00:33:08
    official estimates put the number forced
  • 00:33:10
    to leave their homes at 2 million or
  • 00:33:13
    more
  • 00:33:14
    for years the lack of security kept many
  • 00:33:17
    humanitarian agencies from entering the
  • 00:33:20
    region
  • 00:33:21
    now that more military are present
  • 00:33:23
    they are returning to learn that the
  • 00:33:25
    crisis is much worse than they predicted
  • 00:33:30
    I think a lot of humanitarian Aid
  • 00:33:32
    workers are saying that they didn't
  • 00:33:33
    realize the situation was that bad some
  • 00:33:37
    have described it as famine-like
  • 00:33:40
    conditions
  • 00:33:42
    unfortunately if it was addressed sooner
  • 00:33:45
    it wouldn't have gotten to the extent
  • 00:33:46
    that it is now
  • 00:33:49
    according to the United Nations more
  • 00:33:52
    than one billion dollars in humanitarian
  • 00:33:54
    Aid was needed to help 8.5 million
  • 00:33:58
    people in the Northeast and Lake Chad
  • 00:34:00
    region in 2017. most of it for food
  • 00:34:06
    children are particularly vulnerable
  • 00:34:09
    because their bodies are growing their
  • 00:34:11
    minds are growing and developing and if
  • 00:34:13
    they don't have the nutrition that they
  • 00:34:14
    need in the first two years of life that
  • 00:34:16
    has lifelong consequences for them so a
  • 00:34:19
    child you know who's one year old who
  • 00:34:22
    doesn't get enough to eat will see her
  • 00:34:24
    growth is stunted she will have possibly
  • 00:34:27
    trouble in you know cognitive
  • 00:34:28
    development of her brain you know that
  • 00:34:30
    will affect her performance in school
  • 00:34:31
    later on it'll affect her ability to
  • 00:34:33
    earn a living later on so she will be
  • 00:34:35
    paying the price for our failure for the
  • 00:34:38
    rest of her life if we can't get that
  • 00:34:39
    food and nutritional support to her nap
  • 00:34:42
    without continued Aid or Rebound in
  • 00:34:45
    agriculture Nigerians may be on the edge
  • 00:34:48
    of famine for years to come
  • 00:34:54
    the emotional and psychological damage
  • 00:34:57
    of the war has deep consequences and may
  • 00:35:00
    pose the most difficult challenge of
  • 00:35:02
    Nigeria's recovery
  • 00:35:04
    is
  • 00:35:14
    foreign
  • 00:35:30
    these stories have become all too common
  • 00:35:34
    when we're coming out to Insurgency it's
  • 00:35:36
    one thing to rebuild homes
  • 00:35:38
    and to rebuild hospitals and to rebuild
  • 00:35:40
    schools but the most important thing is
  • 00:35:42
    to rebuild people
  • 00:35:44
    Dr Fatima akilu leads the neem
  • 00:35:48
    Foundation a non-profit that is taking
  • 00:35:50
    on the country's psychological
  • 00:35:52
    reconstruction
  • 00:35:54
    the work focuses on Nigerians who are
  • 00:35:57
    homeless suffered violence and Trauma or
  • 00:36:00
    who were captives under Boko Haram
  • 00:36:05
    by sharing their stories they help heal
  • 00:36:09
    one another our main objective is to
  • 00:36:12
    hear their experience
  • 00:36:15
    I want to share our experience together
  • 00:36:17
    so that we can see how we can support
  • 00:36:19
    ourselves what we're looking at is the
  • 00:36:21
    mental health status their
  • 00:36:23
    post-traumatic stress disorder needs
  • 00:36:25
    depression anxiety insomnia
  • 00:36:28
    psychosomatic symptoms
  • 00:36:31
    these group sessions run for a month to
  • 00:36:34
    build trust
  • 00:36:37
    counselors help with translation they
  • 00:36:40
    left any time she remember her son she
  • 00:36:43
    can't sleep because she didn't even see
  • 00:36:45
    the body of her son one woman told of
  • 00:36:48
    losing multiple family members when
  • 00:36:50
    there was one attack in this in
  • 00:36:53
    maiduguri here a suicide bomber came to
  • 00:36:55
    where they were staying and that was how
  • 00:36:57
    her husband was killed
  • 00:37:14
    that she's really feeling better ever
  • 00:37:17
    since she started coming to this place
  • 00:37:19
    and she's very grateful
  • 00:37:23
    the councilors use cognitive therapy to
  • 00:37:25
    help victims control traumatic
  • 00:37:27
    flashbacks
  • 00:37:30
    we focus on trying to get them to alter
  • 00:37:33
    their negative thinking about the event
  • 00:37:35
    that has happened we tried to teach them
  • 00:37:38
    thought-stopping behaviors and we try to
  • 00:37:40
    teach them resilience through group
  • 00:37:45
    two months after their initial therapy
  • 00:37:48
    members of the group reconvened to see
  • 00:37:50
    whether they're continuing to cope that
  • 00:37:53
    in this Gathering if you come to this
  • 00:37:55
    Gathering after hearing everybody's
  • 00:37:57
    experience you realize that your own
  • 00:37:59
    problem somebody has a bigger problem
  • 00:38:02
    than you owe
  • 00:38:04
    Dr akilu says victims can cure these
  • 00:38:08
    deep emotional wounds
  • 00:38:10
    it just takes time as a psychologist I
  • 00:38:13
    have a role that I can play and I can
  • 00:38:16
    bring people together to show that there
  • 00:38:18
    is an alternative way
  • 00:38:19
    rebuilding the lives of Boko haram's
  • 00:38:22
    victims is only part of the healing
  • 00:38:24
    process
  • 00:38:27
    another challenge is finding
  • 00:38:29
    alternatives for those who perpetrated
  • 00:38:31
    the violence
  • 00:38:33
    these men are Boko Haram fighters who
  • 00:38:36
    have recently surrendered they're about
  • 00:38:39
    to enter Operation Safe Corridor where
  • 00:38:42
    insurgents who've renounced Boko Haram
  • 00:38:44
    can undergo Rehabilitation while in
  • 00:38:47
    prison is a federal government
  • 00:38:49
    initiative aimed at the
  • 00:38:52
    radicalizing
  • 00:38:54
    rehabilitating and reintegrating willing
  • 00:38:57
    and surrendered Boko Haram back into the
  • 00:39:00
    society
  • 00:39:02
    the man will undergo three months of
  • 00:39:05
    counseling to dispel their
  • 00:39:06
    indoctrination under Boko Haram
  • 00:39:09
    Dr akilu helped start an earlier
  • 00:39:11
    de-radicalization effort in Nigeria
  • 00:39:14
    all these programs work on multiple
  • 00:39:17
    levels one would be ideology because
  • 00:39:20
    that was what they used to recruit
  • 00:39:22
    second was to look at their mental
  • 00:39:25
    States so we had psychological
  • 00:39:26
    engagement that we felt art was
  • 00:39:28
    important because they were so against
  • 00:39:30
    Art and art allowed some way to express
  • 00:39:32
    themselves in ways and expect it to that
  • 00:39:34
    person and we taught them a skill a
  • 00:39:38
    trade different for different people and
  • 00:39:40
    we also gave them a medication for those
  • 00:39:42
    who wanted it under deradicalization the
  • 00:39:46
    Boko Haram militants are classified as
  • 00:39:48
    repentant Fighters
  • 00:39:51
    VOA was allowed to visit one class but
  • 00:39:54
    authorities refused to allow cameras
  • 00:39:56
    inside to protect ex-fighters from being
  • 00:39:59
    identified
  • 00:40:01
    so we are hoping that when you leave
  • 00:40:03
    here which we hope will be very soon you
  • 00:40:05
    will all go back and
  • 00:40:12
    you all go back and all the skills that
  • 00:40:15
    is being impacted now you will use them
  • 00:40:18
    to the benefits of your families and to
  • 00:40:20
    the benefit of Nigeria
  • 00:40:23
    in terms of the radicalization the
  • 00:40:27
    positive there for us is there are more
  • 00:40:29
    and more of the ex-combatants
  • 00:40:34
    actually uh um disengaging
  • 00:40:38
    disengagement is key
  • 00:40:40
    so I admonish all of you to
  • 00:40:43
    take this program very very seriously
  • 00:40:47
    there is a debate about whether
  • 00:40:49
    de-radicalization works or is
  • 00:40:52
    appropriate
  • 00:40:54
    among those who took part in Dr akilu's
  • 00:40:57
    initial program was an Imam who joined
  • 00:40:59
    Boko Haram in his early stages then
  • 00:41:02
    preached against Western education
  • 00:41:05
    caught by Nigerian forces he was sent to
  • 00:41:09
    prison with other Fighters

    brought in quranic Scholars who
  • 00:41:35
    persuaded him that Boko Haram
  • 00:41:37
    manipulated key texts in the holy book
  • 00:41:40
    to suit their agenda
  • 00:41:43
    when we started working with bokaram
  • 00:41:45
    members I think for me the biggest
  • 00:41:48
    surprise was how little knowledge they
  • 00:41:50
    had of the Quran itself and even
  • 00:41:53
    including them Chief Imam they had
  • 00:41:56
    memorized parts of the Quran but without
  • 00:41:58
    context

    foreign
  • 00:42:16
    [Music]
  • 00:42:29
    foreign foreign
  • 00:42:31
    but whether such success can be repeated
  • 00:42:33
    on the scale that's needed is unclear
  • 00:42:36
    the problem is if it doesn't work then
  • 00:42:39
    what we must have something on the table
  • 00:42:41
    that works at the moment it is the
  • 00:42:43
    radicalization look
  • 00:42:45
    the reality is that these people they
  • 00:42:47
    are Nigerians and the fundamental
  • 00:42:50
    question we should ask to what extent
  • 00:42:53
    did the Nigerian Society contribute for
  • 00:42:55
    them to become what they have become and
  • 00:42:58
    what should the Nigerian Society do to
  • 00:43:00
    get them back to living normal lives
  • 00:43:05
    the conflict with Boko Haram casts
  • 00:43:08
    Northeastern Nigeria as a dark dangerous
  • 00:43:11
    place overcome with suffering and need

    months after returning home to maiduguri

    hi abubakar set about to change that
  • 00:43:23
    image armed with her camera
  • 00:43:26
    we're usually bombarded with images of
  • 00:43:29
    you know people dead bodies on the
  • 00:43:31
    street you know sites of bomb blasts
  • 00:43:34
    some children in the hospital it's just
  • 00:43:37
    a complete you know portrayal where you
  • 00:43:40
    just think that there are no survivors
  • 00:43:42
    and of this conflict
  • 00:43:44
    there are different kind of stories that
  • 00:43:47
    I felt they were completely neglected
  • 00:43:49
    and I wanted people to see that yes or
  • 00:43:52
    no state is struggling but there's still
  • 00:43:54
    people living there and they're
  • 00:43:56
    continuing their lives

    proud region showcasing the rich
  • 00:44:23
    diversity of Nigeria's people
  • 00:44:26
    I have to be highly inclusive in this
  • 00:44:30
    visual storytelling so I try as much as
  • 00:44:32
    possible to document all of the tribes
  • 00:44:35
    in the community to ensure that it
  • 00:44:37
    represents the whole of Borno State
  • 00:44:40
    and the schwa tribe are very beautiful
  • 00:44:42
    very colorful tribe

    [Music]
  • 00:44:47
    the portraits I do I feel are in a
  • 00:44:50
    quintessential people of Borno State and
  • 00:44:53
    then I asked them questions about how
  • 00:44:55
    life is and then when I do a lot of the
  • 00:44:58
    interviews I transcribe and then I post
  • 00:45:01
    the images on social media together with
  • 00:45:04
    the narratives
  • 00:45:06
    in her regular job fatty works as a
  • 00:45:10
    Communications officer for Unicef
  • 00:45:13
    immersed in the northeast's humanitarian
  • 00:45:16
    crisis She searches for moments of
  • 00:45:18
    compassion and caring
  • 00:45:21
    so I do a lot of human interest stories
  • 00:45:24
    and photo essays and I document all of
  • 00:45:27
    unicef's activities so that we can post
  • 00:45:30
    on social media UNICEF has come in and
  • 00:45:33
    done a lot for our people and for me
  • 00:45:35
    it's especially fulfilling to see that
  • 00:45:38
    foreign
  • 00:45:43
    to areas where the war left its scars
  • 00:45:47
    looking deeper to document how people
  • 00:45:49
    have survived the Insurgency
  • 00:45:52
    and what I've learned is that even in
  • 00:45:55
    the midst of adversity you know people
  • 00:45:57
    are able to continue and move on people
  • 00:46:01
    do not stop because of a Bomb Blast
  • 00:46:05
    I gravitate to children because of their
  • 00:46:08
    exuberance
  • 00:46:10
    even when you find them in a situation
  • 00:46:12
    that is really bad they're very bubbly
  • 00:46:14
    and very Lively and that kind of keeps
  • 00:46:17
    me going
  • 00:46:19
    I photograph a lot of Street children
  • 00:46:22
    and homeless children as well and a lot
  • 00:46:26
    of children that are escaping Boko Haram
  • 00:46:29
    and you see them mostly by the river or
  • 00:46:33
    under the bridge living on their own
  • 00:46:36
    but for these children usually you kind
  • 00:46:38
    of feel traumatized by their experience
  • 00:46:42
    you would wish for them to have a great
  • 00:46:44
    future but you know it will take a lot
  • 00:46:46
    for them to have the kind of life that
  • 00:46:49
    you would want for them
  • 00:46:51
    I just want people to know that you know
  • 00:46:53
    Boko Haram is a small percentage of
  • 00:46:56
    people that are reaching havoc on a
  • 00:46:59
    community and the majority of people
  • 00:47:02
    from Borno State are very peace loving
  • 00:47:04
    very hospitable very highly intelligent
  • 00:47:07
    individuals who are the same as every
  • 00:47:10
    average Nigerian we just want to live
  • 00:47:12
    our lives
  • 00:47:14
    if Nigeria is to heal from the war the
  • 00:47:17
    Country Must recover the bonds of
  • 00:47:19
    humanity within its people
  • 00:47:22

    the days of their captivity unwilling to

    my major fear is by the time we have
  • 00:48:06
    these girls come back inevitably so at
  • 00:48:09
    least for the number that can come back
  • 00:48:10
    what life would they live for the rest
  • 00:48:12
    of their lives they've washed
  • 00:48:15
    amputations happen in front of them
  • 00:48:16
    they've watched killings they've watched
  • 00:48:19
    draining of blood they've washed
  • 00:48:21
    airstrikes they've got people being
  • 00:48:23
    buried in Shallow Graves they've been
  • 00:48:25
    abused some of them come back with
  • 00:48:27
    children how do you take those memories

    the best way to win against those that
  • 00:49:01
    have abducted your children is to use
  • 00:49:03
    other children as a perfect example and
  • 00:49:07
    a perfect testimony and representation
  • 00:49:10
    of a better life that can happen because
  • 00:49:13
    education is there
  • 00:49:15
    we are telling both program that you
  • 00:49:17
    lost and we are winning

    April 14 2017 marked the third
  • 00:49:25
    anniversary of the chipper kidnappings
  • 00:49:28
    at that time only 21 chipper girls had
  • 00:49:32
    been freed
  • 00:49:33

  • 00:49:36
    then on May 7th
  • 00:49:39
    1120 days after being taken 82 more
  • 00:49:43
    girls were released
  • 00:49:46
    foreign
  • 00:49:47

  • 00:49:50
    erupted at Unity Square in Abuja
  • 00:49:55
    bring back our girls campaigners have
  • 00:49:57
    kept their long protest vigil
  • 00:50:01
    [Music]
  • 00:50:04
    the fact that we can have 82 of our
  • 00:50:07
    guests come back is a validation of
  • 00:50:10
    everything we have been doing here every
  • 00:50:13
    day so 106 girls out of 219 that we've
  • 00:50:19
    been waiting for for three years three
  • 00:50:22
    weeks and two days today they have come
  • 00:50:24
    back and that is a big deal
  • 00:50:28
    news reports soon revealed that the
  • 00:50:31
    release was part of a swap in the
  • 00:50:34
    exchange the Nigerian government had
  • 00:50:36
    freed several Boko Haram militants
  • 00:50:39
    but for bookie no price is too high to
  • 00:50:42
    pay for the girl's freedom
  • 00:50:44
    for the girls it means life to them that
  • 00:50:47
    was a life they had before they were
  • 00:50:49
    abducted they were going to school to
  • 00:50:52
    them it means I am coming back to
  • 00:50:55
    civilization I am coming back to life I
  • 00:50:58
    can't believe I can sleep with my two
  • 00:51:00
    eyes closed
  • 00:51:05
    what does the future hold for Nigeria
  • 00:51:08
    the future of Nigeria is actually not as
  • 00:51:12
    Bleak as people make it to be I think
  • 00:51:14
    it's really very important to understand
  • 00:51:16
    that Boko Haram is not Nigeria and
  • 00:51:19
    Nigeria is not Boko Haram
  • 00:51:22
    after eight years of conflict some
  • 00:51:24
    twenty thousand dead and millions of
  • 00:51:27
    lives disrupted how does the nation move
  • 00:51:30
    forward
  • 00:51:31
    so we've got to remake our society we've
  • 00:51:33
    got to have Justice we've got to have
  • 00:51:35
    inclusion people must feel part of the
  • 00:51:37
    state they must be many platforms and
  • 00:51:39
    spaces for youth to self-actualize
  • 00:51:42
    they've got to be other paths that
  • 00:51:44
    children can feel that they can
  • 00:51:46
    contribute to society
  • 00:51:49
    yeah
  • 00:51:51
    in a country so rich in diversity
  • 00:51:55
    tribal cultural language
  • 00:51:59
    religion
  • 00:52:01
    [Music]
  • 00:52:03
    core Humanity survives
  • 00:52:06
    one thing I've found with Nigeria is
  • 00:52:08
    that sometimes the country pushes itself
  • 00:52:10
    to an edge
  • 00:52:11
    and at that edge it pulls itself back
  • 00:52:15
    and things move you know one of the
  • 00:52:18
    someone told me a joke and said you know
  • 00:52:21
    um
  • 00:52:22
    it always seems as if the edge of
  • 00:52:24
    uncertainty is Nigeria's comfort zone
  • 00:52:27
    when you think things are going to
  • 00:52:29
    crumble it always comes back together
  • 00:52:33
    and I think it's really the people in
  • 00:52:35
    Nigeria there is this can-do spirit in
  • 00:52:37
    Nigeria there's this Spirit to thrive
  • 00:52:39
    there's the spirit to overcome the
  • 00:52:41
    impossible in Nigeria
