Aid cuts will push Nigerians into arms of Boko Haram militants, UN warns | BBC News


Drastic cuts to humanitarian aid in north-eastern Nigeria could prove a advantage to one of the world’s most deadly militant groups, Boko Haram, aid agencies have warned.

A reduction of funding in recent months has forced the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) to ration its support, and now it has completely run out.

"It will be much easier for militants to lure youths to join them and spiral insecurity across the whole region," Trust Mlambo, head of operations in the area for WFP, told the BBC.

Notorious around the world for kidnapping more than 200 schoolgirls from the town of Chibok more than a decade ago, Boko Haram has taken thousands of people captive during its raids and forced more than a million from their village homes.
