Woman rescues baby lying next to his dead mother as she fled Baga

As this woman fled Baga, Borno state last week with her family, she saw a baby boy crying next to his dead mother. She stopped and picked him up. She now cares for him. Photo credit: UN Refugee Agency. See photos of other Nigerian refugees currently in Chad, after the cut...

      @Diamond; Pls & Pls make no comment about this issue, I'm here staying in Maid, we've seen alot... No enough soldiers, Mr. P refused to send more soldiers to tackle the issue, @least He should send 30thousand soldiers to make them Vanish but he likes it that way by sending 500hundred Soldiers after hundreds are killed and send another 500....

      So plssss, Make no mouth...

I'm from the east and i don't support tribalism but speak the truth. You will know the right person to support when someone close to you or from your family is affected or is running to neighboring country for shelter. We need change, our people must return back to Nigeria. Come Febuhari we shall know. GMB is my only option for now and the only one qualified to make promises to me now!

I pray something is done quickly and swiftly to quell the situation. On a separate note....dont you muslims have anything better to do with your time?

    This dont make sense. What if Chad refuse these people entry and seal its borders, are you telling me they'll have to make do with living in the forest? Why will GEJ just go about his everyday life like nothing is happening. Cant he learn from how countries like US reacts when one of their own is in trouble in another country.
