...Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), cram into trucks and minivans and head for a slum on the west side of the city. Men are huddled under a blue tent playing ceki, a kind of poker. They scatter as the squad, brandishing clubs and machetes, marches in. But as FPI members smash tables and chairs and then start pulling down the tents, some locals turn and jeer.
