The long-range missile is reported to have an improved accuracy.

Nabil al-Arabi is issuing a new call for the snipers to stand down.

尼日利亚取消燃油补贴引发抗议

Nigerians are fuming, following a government move to eliminate a fuel subsidy.

The move has more than doubled the price at the pumps in many parts of Nigeria.

"if you want to remove fuel subsidy, we are not saying you shouldn't do it, do it at the right time where you have put the road in order, make all the employers get results from what they are working for"

"I believe some countries their price is more than this, but their government is doing well, but if our government will follow like other countries, then fine, we don't have problem, but if they know that they can not be able to do well for the masses, then I believe they have to reduce it."

There have already been number small protests, and the trade unions in Nigeria have been calling for a large-scale strike.

Nigeria is Africa's biggest oil producer, but is a net-importer of petrol because of a lack of refining capasity brought on by years of corruption and mismanagement.
