THAT is what I’m talkin about. #attagara, #kawuri, #borno, #nigeria, #nigerianwomen, #selfarmed, #militance
FYI - this is not true. The people in the photo are not Nigerian. They are from Mali. They are women seeking revenge against Tuareg rebels. See where the photo is from here.
In addition, Africa Check did a thorough breakdown debunking the story of armed female vigilantes taking on Boko Haram and where the hoax came from. You can read all about it here.
This story has circulated many times and it keeps popping back up. Let’s stay on our toes and be vigilant that what we share is true. It’s very easy to spread misinformation, even though you have good intentions. I myself thought this story was true the first time I saw it a while back. Be careful.
