A shocking surge in deadly violence across northeastern Nigeria has left 48 people dead in just 48 hours, sparking fears of a Boko Haram comeback. Armed raids in Adamawa and Borno claimed 22 lives, followed by a brutal roadside blast that killed 26 more. Security experts and local authorities warn that the Islamist terror group, alongside its rival ISWAP, may be regrouping after years of internal conflict. With over 40,000 killed and more than 2 million displaced over 15 years, is Nigeria on the brink of another insurgency crisis?

In a violent crackdown during International Quds Day, Nigerian security forces opened fire on pro-Palestinian protesters in Abuja, killing at least 19 people and injuring dozens more. Video footage from the scene shows armed forces securing the perimeter as demonstrators flee, with some being dragged lifeless into trucks by soldiers. This violent suppression follows a pattern of force used against Quds Day demonstrators in previous years, sparking outrage and concern from human rights organizations. The Nigerian government had previously warned of potential unrest, citing concerns over the protesters' demands for justice in support of Palestine. This tragic event has left many questioning the Nigerian government's response to peaceful demonstrations and the growing tension surrounding global solidarity for Palestine.
