Boko Haram Fracturing, Say Rescued Hostages

There are very strong indications that the insurgent group Boko Haram
is fracturing as shortages of weapons and fuel have caused tension
among the soldiers and the leaders.

One of the released victims told Reuters Agency that the fighters are
saying that their leaders have deceived them into fighting in the name
of religion.

According to some of the rescued women, the group abducted an
estimated 2,000 women and girls in 2014 as it tried to create an
Islamic state.

So far the army has freed nearly 700 in the past one week.
