みんな徒歩で延々あるかされ、水も何も足りずに倒れる者もあり、そうした者たちは誘拐者のバイクに積まれたりし―逃亡できた子は日が沈み、監視の目が緩んだすきに積み草のなかに身を潜め、それで脱出してきたのだという。
BBC Nigeria kidnap crisis: Schoolboy recounts daring escape from bandits 12 Mar 2024 By Chris Ewokor
以下、引用摘記。
「Musa Garba,17, had to slither on the ground like a snake to avoid being detected by his kidnappers as he made his escape through the bush of northern Nigeria.
Earlier, camouflaged by his school uniform, the teenager had managed to hide in a heap of cut grass as the group of schoolchildren he was abducted with were taking a break from their forced trek.
More than 280 of them were snatched last week from a school in the town of Kuriga, in Kaduna state, traumatising a community.」
まるで牛のように駆り集められ、それで強制トレッキング。水は何とか川に行き着ければ―という様。
「"We tried to run away, but they chased us and caught us. They gathered us like cows into the bush."」
「At one point, deep into the bush, they were able to quench their thirst at a river which came as a big relief for the children who had not had breakfast and had been forced to walk for several hours under the hot sun.
Musa kept looking for ways to escape and tried to encourage others to join him but they were too afraid.」
皆を励ましながら行った―というのだが、まあなかなか気を強く持ちつづけることはできなかった模様。まあねえ、そんなに強い個体ばかりじゃないよねえ…。
「He saw his chance as the sun was setting. Looking around to ensure he was not being monitored, he hid in one of the heaps of grass and lay still.
"After all was quiet, [to avoid detection] I started dragging myself like a snake on the ground." Once it was totally dark, he got up and walked off until he got to a village where he got help.」
単独突破してきた彼をみな歓迎する―わけだが、しかし大多数は囚われたまま。それはそう。ところがこれが珍しいことではなく、誘拐被害者はここ8カ月で4000名以上に達するという。うわあ。
「But Musa and Sadiq are just two among the more than 4,000 people who have been kidnapped in Nigeria in the past eight months, according to one estimate.」
もちろんBoko Haramも下手人の一派だが、ほかにもイスラミックステート系も出張ってきて、彼らが単なるbanditsとして跋扈しており、なんやあいつら、もはや政治的見解も何もあったもんじゃないな、ただの山賊だ―という、そういう認知になっている模様。
「"They are motivated by money. They simply kidnap people, and once ransom is paid to them, they release their hostages. They have no political agenda and no clear-cut leadership," Mr Sani says.」
