BAN 'SHOCKED AND SADDENED' BY CIVILIAN DEATHS IN NIGERIA VIOLENCENew
York, Apr 22 2013 4:00PMSecretary-General Ban Ki-moon has voiced
shock and sadness today at reports of high numbers of civilians killed
in Nigeria's Borno State following armed clashes there between
Government forces and an extremist group.

Over the weekend, fighting between Nigeria's military and Islamic
extremists caused the deaths of at least 185 people in the
northeastern town of Baga, media sources have reported.

"The Secretary-General reiterates his firm conviction that no
objective sought can justify this resort to violence," Mr. Ban's
spokesperson said in a
<"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=6759">statement.

"He expresses his condolences to the bereaved families and calls on
all extremist groups to cease their attacks."

Violence fuelled by sectarian motives is not uncommon in Nigeria where
the Islamist group, Boko Haram, has frequently resorted to targeting
civilians. Last year, over 100 people were killed when the radical
group attacked churches in Kaduna State, drawing widespread
condemnation from the UN.

Mr. Ban "underscores the need for all concerned to full respect human
rights and safeguard the lives of civilians," the Secretary-General's
statement added.Apr 22 2013 4:00PM
