In less than one month, multiple improvised explosive device (IED) explosions have occurred in Borno state, northeastern Nigeria. At least seven passengers were killed and several others injured on Saturday, March 12, when a commercial bus traveling along the Damboa–Maiduguri road drove on an IED planted by suspected Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), the infamous terrorist group operating across the Lake Chad region. The explosion occurred around midday, locals told HumAngle.

He was observing the Muslim Ramadan fast, enduring the scorching sun, and grappling with the challenges of insecurity facing his herding community, all while wondering where to find money to contribute to a crowdfunding effort to pay a ransom. March has been characterised by extremely hot conditions.

Residents of Kaleri, a community situated in the Jere local government area of Borno state, northeastern Nigeria, were thrown into panic when suspected insurgents launched a midnight attack on Tuesday, March 18. The attackers sneaked into the area and opened fire. The sporadic sounds that travelled through the neighbouring communities forced people to flee for safety in the middle of the night. A bullet struck and killed a 12-year-old boy, according to residents who spoke with HumAngle.

For many displaced families in Borno State, northeastern Nigeria, hunger is an everyday struggle. Since the government shut down camps in Maiduguri and resettled them in unfamiliar communities, they have been left with no food, farmland, or aid. Some have gone five days without a meal, while others risk their lives in Boko Haram-controlled forests, gathering firewood for a few hundred naira. Survival is a gamble, and the odds are against them.
