DIKWA, Nigeria (AP) — Under the dappled light of a thatched shelter, Yagana Bulama cradles her surviving infant. The other twin is gone, a casualty of malnutrition and the international funding cuts that are snapping the lifeline for displaced communities in Nigeria’s insurgency-ravaged Borno state.
“Feeding is severely difficult,” said Bulama, 40, who was a farmer before Boko Haram militants swept through her village, forcing her to flee. She and about 400,000 other people at the humanitarian hub of Dikwa — virtually the entire population — rely on assistance. The military restricts their movements to a designated “safe zone,” which severely limits farming.
For years, the United States Agency for International Development had been the backbone of the humanitarian response in northeastern Nigeria, helping non-government organizations provide food, shelter and healthcare to millions of people. But this year, the Trump administration cut more than 90% of USAID’s foreign aid contracts and $60 billion in overall assistance around the world.
Programs serving children were hit hard.
Trump and Musk killed these people. They purposely did this because they don’t care.
Conservative voters killed these children. Just like they do school students.

Not to be both sides but nothings more American than killing brown children
God Damn…true. but still god damn
I want Burkina Faso to succeed, I want them to form a stable bloc, to empower each other and to help neighboring nations, I really hope and I really do, that it becomes reality, we need to lift every individual from poverty, give every tribe a benefit to allow them to thrive, I hope that West African governments can come together
A white South African did that. Is anybody surprised?
