They used to visit a local mosque but no longer feel safe enough to venture outside a Baghdad-style green zone. Nearby streets are blocked with man-high barriers; entry is via a few well-run checkpoints where even residents must show documents to reach homes protected by walls topped with razor wire. Policemen in fortified pillboxes watch crossroads. The streets are lined with drums filled with concrete to stop anyone parking car-bombs. Kano, the northern capital, and much of the country's northern half, where 90m or so of Nigeria's 160m people live, are under siege. Muslim extremists are carrying out a campaign of bombings and assassinations that has left more than 1,000 people dead this year. Fear has crawled into every corner of public life. The economy has crashed. Traders in Kano say that sales are down by a half as customers dare not venture out. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
