Chad executes 10 Boko Haram members by firing squad: sources


Chad has executed 10 members of Nigerian Islamist militant group Boko Haram by firing squad, a day after they were sentenced on terrorism charges, security sources said on Saturday.

"They were shot this morning at the Massaguet firing range," said one of the sources, referring to a city about 60 km (40 miles) northeast of the capital N'Djamena.
Among the executed was Mahamat Moustapha, a 30-year-old Cameroonian who was accused of masterminding a series of attacks on N'Djamena.
More than 40 people were killed in those attacks in June and July, prompting Chadian President Idriss Deby to introduce a series of tough new anti-terror laws.
Chad is a leading country in a regional 8,700-strong military task force fighting Boko Haram. Mr. Deby says the jihadist insurgent movement could be destroyed by year end.

A four-time African Footballer of the Year, he scored 20 goals as City surged to the league title in 2014, but endured a mixed campaign this season as Manuel Pellegrini’s charges finished runners-up behind Chelsea. Toure, who reportedly earns £220,000 ($340,310, 310,120 euros) per week, refused to answer questions about his future at the...

Underage kids were video here dancing erotically to an equally indecent music at a children's party. After watching this video, I was was more than convinced that we are the last generation of homo sapiens (wise man/woman), the next generation are just evolving into some species that will shake everything we call values.
