GUSAU (The Thursday Times) — Maqami logon ne Hafte ko bataya ke Nigeria ki shumal maghribi riyasat Zamfara mein dehi muhafizon ne aghwa kaar musallah giroh par ghaat laga kar hamla kiya, jis mein kam az kam 53 afraad halak ho gaye.
Maqami logon ke mutabiq jharap Jumeraat ko zila Bukkuyum ke gaon Zoma mein us waqt hui jab yeh giroh hamsaya zila Gummi se kai afraad ko aghwa karne ke baad wahan se guzar raha tha. Maqami taur par aise girohon ko "bandits" yaani daaku kaha jata hai.
Aik riwayati sardar ne, jis ne apni hifazat ki khatir naam zahir na karne ki darkhwast ki, kaha: "Humein ittila mili ke daaku hamari taraf aa rahe hain, is liye hamare muhafiz ghaat laga kar baith gaye aur un se shadeed firing ka tabadla hua."
Sardar ke mutabiq muhafizon ne giroh ke 44 arkaan ko halak kiya jabke un ke apne nau aadmi maare gaye. Un ka kehna tha ke aghwa ki karwai ki qiyadat karne wala Jijji naami giroh ka commander bhi halak hone walon mein shamil hai. Zoma ke do deegar rehaishiyon, Kabiru Tafida aur Basiru Buhari, ne bhi larai aur halakton ki yehi tafseel batai, jis ki azadana tasdeeq nahin ho saki.
Zamfara riyasati police ke tarjuman ne kaha ke police ko abhi jharap ki tafseelat mausool nahin huin. Riyasat ke door daraz ilaqon mein hamlon ki khabrein telephone ki naqis sahulat aur taweel faslon ki wajah se aksar kai din baad samne aati hain.
Buhari ne hukoomat se mutalba kiya ke dehi difai girohon ko aslaha diya jaye. Unhon ne kaha: "Hum hukkam se appeal karte hain ke hamare muhafizon ko banduqein aur gola barood faraham kiya jaye taake woh jadeed hathiyar rakhne wale in daakuon ka muqabla kar sakein."
Barson se jaari hamle
Zamfara Nigeria ke shumal maghribi aur wasti hisse ki un kai riyasaton mein se aik hai jahan musallah giroh dehat par dhawa bol kar logon ko tawan ke liye aghwa karte hain, maweshi churate hain, ghar loot-te hain, aur unhein aag laga dete hain. Yeh tashaddud zameen aur pani par charwahon aur kisanon ke tanazaat se shuru hua, jinhein mausamiyati tabdeeli aur aabadi mein izafe ne mazeed bigaar diya, aur ab yeh bhari hathiyaron se lais girohon ki aghwa ki maeeshat ban chuka hai, jin mein se kuch ne jihadi tanzeemon se rawabit bhi qaim kar liye hain.
Nigeria ki fauj in girohon ko dehshat gard qarar deti hai aur shumal maghrib mein in ke khilaf aik makhsoos muhim chala rahi hai. Jahan fauj aur police ki maujoodgi kam hai wahan dehi muhafiz giroh, jo aksar purani riflon aur shikari banduqon se lais hote hain, yeh khala pur karte rahe hain.
Badamni aur barhti mehngai sadarti intikhabi muhim ke markazi mauzoo ban chuke hain, kyunke Sadr Bola Tinubu January mein hone wale intikhab mein doosri muddat ke liye umeedwar hain.
