Nigeria Massacre, Bitcoin Plunge, and Bosnia War Crimes Surface

Deadly Attacks in Nigeria, Singer's Death Highlights Healthcare Crisis, and Other Global News

More than 160 people were killed in attacks on two villages in western Nigeria on Tuesday, marking the country's deadliest armed assaults this year, according to The Guardian. The attacks occurred in the villages of Woro and Nuku in Kwara state. A local politician stated that armed men rounded up residents, bound their hands, and shot them. The Nigerian military had launched an offensive against terrorist elements in Kwara state last month, The Guardian reported.

In other news from Nigeria, the death of singer Ifunanya Nwangene, 26, after a snakebite has highlighted a crisis of preventable fatalities in the country, according to The Guardian. Nwangene, a former contestant on The Voice Nigeria, was bitten by a snake in her flat in Abuja, Nigeria's capital. She died in the hospital while awaiting treatment. In a last message to her friends, Nwangene wrote: "Please come." The incident has raised questions about the availability of effective antivenoms.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin has experienced a significant plunge, erasing gains since Donald Trump's re-election in 2024, Al Jazeera reported. The world's most popular cryptocurrency fell more than 7 percent on Thursday, continuing a steep downward slide that began in mid-January. Bitcoin dropped below 71,000.

In Mozambique, flood victims are persevering in the face of loss after heavy rains caused the Limpopo River to reach dangerously high levels, Al Jazeera reported. Emilia Machel, 30, and her three children rushed to the Chiaquelane site for displaced people on January 17 after much of her hometown of Chokwe in Mozambiques Gaza Province was already flooded. The Limpopo River begins in neighboring South Africa and flows into Mozambique.

In Europe, Italian prosecutors are investigating a man in connection with alleged sniper tourism in Sarajevo during the 1992-1995 war in Bosnia, according to Al Jazeera. Sources told Reuters that the man, an 80-year-old former truck driver, is the first individual to be identified in the inquiry that began last year. He lives near the northern Italian town of Pordenone.
