Nigeria army captures more than 800 Boko Haram fighters

                                                           The Nigerian Army says 800 Boko Haram fighters have given themselves up in the last few weeks as part of Operation Safe Corridor, which aims to rehabilitate Nigerians who took up arms against the state.        The defence spokesman says the armed forces are committed to helping citizens who show remorse.

The repentant militants are housed in camps, and after being de-radicalised they are set to be trained in various skills to help them get a job.
As positive as this arrangement sounds, there are many here who doubt if society is ready and willing to accept the ex-fighters.
It’s likely that many victims of the cruelty of these former gunmen may find it difficult to forgive.
The north-east of Nigeria has been torn apart bu the Boko Haram insurgency, which has killed more than 10,000 people and displaced more than a million others since it began seven years ago.
