NIGERIA-UNREST-EMERGENCY
The governor of Borno State, Kashim Shettima, meets on April 25, 2013 with the chief of Training and Operations, Defense Headquaters in Maiduguri after two days of clashes between officers of the Joint Task Force and members of the Islamist sect Boko Haram on April 19 in the town of Baga near Lake Chad, 200 kms north of Maiduguri, in Borno State. Nigerian rescue workers set up temporary camps in Baga on April 25 and distributed aid to the masses displaced by brutal fighting that left 187 people dead. The bloodshed in Baga likely marked the deadliest-ever episode in the insurgency of Boko Haram, a radical group which has said it wants to create an Islamic state in northern Nigeria.
