"When Boko Haram sends girls as suicide bombers, don't say they blew themselves up, they were murdered"- ED, Human Rights Watch

The Executive Director, Human Rights Watch, Kenneth Roth
stated this on Twitter after it emerged that the suicide bombers who
blew themselves up in a crowded area near Maiduguri Monday market, were reportedly around seven and eights years old.

Abdulkadir
Jabo, a civilian JTF, who stopped them from going into the market told
Associated Press that he asked the older girl where she was going but
she could not speak Hausa or Kanuri…and appeared unsettled. “I turned her back. Seconds later, she detonated, followed by the younger girl” he added.
