Boko Haram has hoisted its flag over yet another village in Nigeria Saturday following a two-day attack, sans Nigerian military, that left at least 100 dead.

Damboa, which is located in the north-eastern state of Borno, is the latest of many Boko Haram conquests, according to the Wall Street Journal.

After years of spontaneous attacks, the radical Islamic terrorist group has begun planting flags in the northeast.

Mountains bordering Cameroon are now dotted with Boko Harams black and white flags, and the group has forced the young men to become fighters and enslaved the women, officals told WSJ.

Survivors of the latest attack, which began Friday, told the Guardian that insurgents began firing rocket-propelled grenades and throwing homemade bombs at homes before dawn.

Damboa is located along an important route that connects fruit and vegetable farmers to the city of Maiduguri, which is the largest city in the northeast and has a population of about 1 million, accoridng to WSJ. Damboa is also known as the home of musket assemblers, who sell to local hunters.

They fired at escapees and burned down the town, and the Nigerian military was absent from the battle.

Abbas Gava, a spokesman for the Nigerian Vigilante Group, told the Guardian that only vigilantes armed with clubs and homemade rifles were able to fight back.

But this was after sporadic attacks over a two-week period, which killed six soldiers, according to the Guardian. The Defense Ministry said that Nigerian soldiers had been in the area and killed 50 insurgents, but because of ambush attacks from Boko Haram, military convoys trying to reach the nearby base were driven away, along with the soldiers stationed at the base.

Residents of nine more villages are now on the run after receiving word that Boko Haram is targeting their homes next.

The news comes as Nigerian president, Goodluck Jonathan, prepares for a visit to the U.S. in August, according to This Day Live.
