Which is worst? The Nigerian Military or the Boko Haram?

In Africa, there is a terrorist group, Boko Haram (Boko Haram means western education is forbidden in local Hausa dialect), who has been terrorizing Nigeria since its first attack on July 26 2009, that lasted until the 27th. Unfortunately, no one can blame it on the terrorist group. This time, it was the Nigerian military itself! Soldiers in uniforms shouted for the villagers to point out the terrorists among themselves. When none weren't identified, they started to kill the civilians. The military has abused human rights numerous times. For example, in Baga, they shot down civilians and burned their homes. Moreover last month, they accidentally blew up a displaced persons camp, killing at least 90 civilians. FURTHERMORE, a couple days before the massacre in June, the military surrounded the humble farming town of  Ngubdori (This was also victim of many Boko Haram attacks). They rounded up all the residents and forced the men to strip of their shirts. Two men stepped out of their houses at one point, and in result, they were shot. Seven others did the same, and they too were shot. THEN, the military fired upon the crowd, resulting with 13 more victims. The military burned down the grass houses before leaving. In other words, I really really really really really despise the Nigerian military's way of destroying any stowaway terrorists, but I loathe terrorists too. Do you agree with the Nigerian military's methods?Image result for nigeria flag
