Boko Haram Massacre Survivors Flee Nigeria to Island in Lake Chad

KOULFOUA, Chad — The sounds of gunfire broke out before dawn, waking Zara as she slept. Boko Haram fighters were attacking her village.

"They came into the town shooting guns. They slaughtered people," Zara said. Her son, Younoussa, was in the street when the ISIS-affiliated fighters arrived.

"They killed him," she said matter-of-factly, making the motion of slitting a throat. "I have seen with my eyes."
