How Boko Haram Prepares Suicide Bombers by female captive
Woman freed from Boko Haram camps in Sambisa forest narrates how young girls and women are prepared for suicide bombing,to NY Times at one of the Internally displace persons Camps in Maiduguri.
Meriam who claimed to be locked up with dozens of girls and women who are been trained and brainwashed for suicide bombing, said the women were been brainwashed and giving assurance that Allah will forgive them after death.
“The Boko Haram would recite the prayer for the dead,” Meriam said. “Then they would put on the hijab,” covering the suicide belt.After they had prepared, “They said, ‘God will forgive us,’” she said. “Then, they would enter the vehicles, and they would send the women away.” She said.
Adding that she saw a few of the Chibok girls and it appears the Boko haram gives them special treatment.
A few women also spoke to NY Times how they were sexually abused,used as sex slaves
“They married me,” said Hamsatu, 25, a young woman in a black-and-purple head scarf, looking down at the ground. She said she was four months pregnant, that the father was a Boko Haram member and that she had been forced to have sex with other militants who took control of her town.
“They chose the ones they wanted to marry,” added Hamsatu, whose full name was not used to protect her identity. “If anybody shouts, they said they would shoot them.”
Yahauwa, 30, used her green head scarf to wipe away tears as she clutched a plastic bag full of medicine. She had just tested positive for H.I.V.“Is it from the people who forced me to have affairs with them?” she explained that she and many other women had been “locked in one big room.”“When they came, they would select the one they wanted to sleep with,” she said. “They said, ‘If you do not marry us, we will slaughter you. ”
