The reports that attend the baptism ceremony, as a result of the attack on the village in Western Niger, shot 22 people, most of whom attend the baptism ceremony.
The resident told the French news agency AFP that 15 people bordered on Mali and Burkina -fos at the Tilaber Ceremony before moving to another place and score seven others.
“While people noted the baptism ceremony, the militants opened fire, sowing death and terror,” local civil rights activist Makuul Zod said on social media.
Niger’s military government has struggled with violence with a jihadist in the region, conducted by al-Qaeda and the Islamic state.
AFP also referred to the local Elmeestro TV mass media as reports of “a terrible number of innocent people killed and justified.”
Niger’s authorities confirmed that there was an attack in the area, but they did not give any victims.
Last week, Human Rights Watch said jihadist groups had increased attacks in the country since March, killing more than 127 villagers and Muslim believers.
Dozens of houses were plundered and burned over the same period, the report said.
The group accused the authorities of responding to the attacks and ignored calls for the help of the village.
Last Wednesday, 14 Nigeria soldiers were ambushed in the Tilaber region, a figure announced by the army in its weekly newsletter on Saturday.
The army stated that one of its units was deployed after a report on the theft of cattle, but the operation turned out to be “ambushes”.
It is often difficult to check out the real number of casualties in such attacks from the restrictions on access and fear of repression among witnesses and local media.
On Tuesday, Mr. -no questioned why civilians were still subjected to such uncertainty, and urged the government to prioritize citizens’ security and dignity.
“It is time for specific answers, strengthen the presence of a state vulnerable area and will show that every life of Nigerian matters,” he posted on Facebook.
Niger has been under military control since 2023, when General Abdurahman Tiani dismissed the elected President of the country Mohammed Bazum.
His neighbors Burkin -fos and Mali, fighting the same Jihadist rebel, also managing military leaders, but similarly fighting for maintaining the problem.
Three expelled the French and American forces who had previously actively participated in the fight against jihadists operating across the Sahel region.
In addition to returning their ties with the West, they have since created an alliance to fight the threat of jihadists, referring to Russia and Turkey for their security needs. However, violence continued.
