10,000 ex-Boko Haram fighters reintegrated

Authorities in Nigeria's northeastern Borno State report that nearly 10,000 former Boko Haram fighters have been reintegrated into society under a government-backed rehabilitation and deradicalisation programme. The initiative aims to encourage defections from insurgent groups by offering former fighters a path back into civilian life. The programme is part of broader efforts to reduce violence and stabilize the region after years of conflict.
