Armed Attackers Kill More Than 20 in Northwest Nigeria A massacre in Zamfara State has left at least 20 people dead and raised questions about the state's ability to protect its citizens.
The violence is part of a disturbing trend of escalating attacks by armed gangs in the region, who have been raiding villages with impunity.
The timing and brutality of these attacks suggest that the perpetrators believe they operate outside the law, with no consequences for their actions.
