Islamic militants are on the move in northeast Nigeria. It’s rare footage of the group Boko Haram. Insurgents filmed that there’re some cells, the target, the main military barracks in Maiduguri. 

伊斯兰激进分子正朝向东北方向的尼日利亚移动。这是对博科圣地的组织者来说是盼了很久的时机。叛乱分子称要在尼日利亚设立牢房，将主要兵力设立在迈杜古里。

There was a firefight with the Nigerian army, the Boko Haram managed to breach the barracks. They then burst open the cells and set many suspected Islamic militants free. 

这和尼日利亚当地部队发生了枪火，博科圣地组织者策划袭击了军营，并打开牢房释放了大量伊斯兰可疑武装分子。

And that’s where the Boko Haram video ends. The Nigerian military says the attacks were successfully repelled and many of the retreating Islamic fighters were killed by the air force and by ground troops in the city of Maiduguri. Vigilante groups killed many of those who escaped from the cell. We will never know exactly how many people die that day. Some hospital sources said they’ve received about 100 bodies, others said more than 500 people died.

关于博科圣地视频就是这样。尼日利亚军方称此次交火成功击退了激进分子，并且在迈杜古里利用空军和陆队力量击毙了大量撤退的伊斯兰激进分子。自警队也击毙了大量从牢房里逃出来的罪犯。人们已经不知道在那天到底死了多少人。从医院传来的数据称他们有的已经接收了100名伤员，有的说已经超过500人死亡。

我曾经见过一个牧牛人因为这里不安全而逃离出去。他告诉我说，在去年他曾经向尼日利亚军方提供博科圣地在山上的藏身之地。

Islamic militants are on the move in northeast Nigeria. It’s rare footage of the group Boko Haram. Insurgents filmed that there’re some cells, the target, the main military barracks in Maiduguri. 

There was a firefight with the Nigerian army, the Boko Haram managed to breach the barracks. They then burst open the cells and set many suspected Islamic militants free. 

And that’s where the Boko Haram video ends. The Nigerian military says the attacks were successfully repelled and many of the retreating Islamic fighters were killed by the air force and by ground troops in the city of Maiduguri. Vigilante groups killed many of those who escaped from the cell. We will never know exactly how many people die that day.
