Hundreds of skeletons of children, women and men believed killed by Boko Haram have been found in a recaptured Nigerian border town of Damasak. The town fell to Boko Haram in November, 2014 but was recaptured by Nigerien and Chadian soldiers in March, 2015. Local government spokesperson Babagana Mustapha says a committee sent to Damasak at the weekend found the town littered with bodies of women, children and some adult men. A coalition of troops from Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria claimed major voctories since Febuary, reportedly flushing militants out of areas they previously captured.
