The things that people do in the name of perversions of faith are absolutely sickening. Religion, something that is used to foster hope, charity and goodwill in the poor and downtrodden is used to exploit and control by those in power. The victims of Boko Haram will most likely see no justice. The rapists, drug dealers and murders will walk free and righteous despite their atrocities. The whole thing makes me sick to my stomach.

I think it is a testimony to the inefficacy of the Nigerian state that sex crimes should be so pervasive in the refugee camps. The government should have done a much better job of screening the people who would be placed in these critical positions of authority. The guards should been majority if not exclusively female.

I do not really know how to feel exactly about this situation. This is one of the worse things that I could imagine a person doing. Taking advantage of another person that just left a really traumatic situation is one of the worst things that I could imagine a person doing. These people come to you for help and trust you only to have their trust broken in the worse possible way.
