Africa
Nigerian forces killed more than 100 members of a criminal gang in an air and ground raid on Sunday in Zamfara state, a conflict monitoring report produced for the United Nations said Monday. The raid follows rising violence, including a deadly attack by the gang on Adabka village last week. The ongoing conflict, fuelled by organised crime and resource disputes, is worsening regional instability and malnutrition.
