Nigeria buries Darfur dead

At one end of the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Abuja were seven ambulances provided by the National Hospital Abuja. From another end the Minister of State for Defense Mrs. Fidelia Njeze, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and other top ranking officers arrive at the airport to receive the dead bodies.

At about 4.20pm the aircraft carrying the gallant soldiers taxied down. Shortly after the bodies of the fallen heros were been brought out one after the other into the seven ambulances.

The Minsiter of State visibly in a sorrowful mood praised the gallantry of the Nigerian army for bringing back the remains of the gallant soldiers.

Soundbite:Minister of State For Defense Speaking(English):

"We are all depressed so it does not give room for too many ceremonies for now. They did a good job and I congratulate them. It is not easy it requires a lot of courage to do that and I praise them for that".

The Nigerian Military is to be praised for thei heroic soldiers who are dying to stop the genocide in Darfur. I don't see the US or European nations in Darfur trying to help. White nations don't care about black nations and their genocides. Thank God for the mighty Nigeran Military who fights the Arab devils or Janjawed. God is on the side of the Nigerians not the terrorist Arabs who rape and kill women and children in the name of Allah. They only bring shame to the great religion of Islam.

I don't know who you are or what nonsense you are talking about. How dare you, you insult the Nigerian military?? You must be mad. The U.S military will never insult the Nigerian military the way you are doing.You are swimming in ignorance becos you don't know history. In WW1, they fought and defeated the Germans in Cameroon & Eastern africa; WW2, they fought and defeated the Japanese (who attacked the U.S at Pearl Harbor) in the jungles of Burma, South East Asia.

@Josman318 Why begging those causing war in africa to save her? In our disunity they make their living.

Nigerian Government and our military has done a lot to save bloody wars in parts of Africa. I must say that our African neighbors don't deserve that care, we Nigeria are hated my the so called African brothers than the west. It is better for Nigerian soldiers to fight alongside the US in Iraq and Afghanistan and some other places because there must be something to show for it. Wasting the precious lives of gallant soldiers for this bloody so called African brothers is useless and worthless.

[Josman318]

It is very very very unfortunate that Nigerians should continue to die for any more Africans.Our fellow Africans are the most ungrateful people to waste precious Nigerian lives in order to save them.Let US,UK and France save them.Not poor Nigeria

i think its going be a sort of disaster for Nigeria in Somalia cos the muslim extremist otherwise known as terrorist has taken the war to another level its the 4th generation warfare called guerilla warfare and its a very difficult war to win even d great US Army failed in Somalia.
