These villagers refused to be the next victims of religious genocide – they fought back and won – unlike the recent village where 2,500 were killed.
Several Nigerian media outlets have been reporting on local women in the villages of Attagara and Kawuri in Borno State who recently disarmed nearly a dozen Boko Haram terrorists. The notorious pseudo-Islamic terror groups tried to attack the Attagara and Kawuri communities over the weekend but the insurgents were instantly repelled by a group of armed women.
The Attagara and Kawuri villages in Gwoza and Bama Local Government Areas of Borno State resisted the attack using an array of local talismans and, of course, their assault weapons came in handy as well.
The initial women were said to have then gone to their local militia which included a number of armed women, who promptly raced to the scene, repelled and executed the attackers.
Mamman Yakubu, a youth that participated in the resistance, said that they killed the terrorists because Boko Haram members never talk when interrogated, and they did not want to risk any of them getting away.

Why do I keep thinking I've heard this story rehashed (with a different spin) about 10 different times now?
I swear, I feel like Winston Smith sometimes...
I'm fairly certain this happened before the recent attacks....but I could be wrong.
This story is WAY too familiar to me for it to be the first time I've heard it.
The photo is also suspect because I've seen it for months now...and I know that for a FACT.
*off to see what reverse image search finds on the pic....(I'm rather interested now)
.............
Yeap....thought so.
Linky...

This truly, genuinely did put a smile on my face!
The fact that they did not let any of the captives live means that these women fighters mean business, and will not lay down.
Locals returned hellfire when the U.S. invaded Somalia too, giving the troops too much bullets to contend with that they needed air support.
This is what an armed community can do.

Actually most of them were muslim fighters in somalia. Ones that i am sure are on the side of boko haram now most likely.
I swear everything you see or hear is lies anymore. I almost want to just cut the cable and toss all electronic equipment.
I am going to choose to think they just stole that pic and the story is real. the story is real......the story is real.
Just because it is several years old, does not make it irrelevant to the current situation. Women defending themselves from aggression is not a bad thing.
