This AFP article notes several estimates of the number of people killed in Boko Haram violence in Nigeria this past year. Boko Haram is an extremist group that purportedly wants to bring Islamist rule to northern Nigeria. This Voice of America article talks about that. The U.S. Government should consider re-issuing its statements about the situation in Nigeria every week, as posted about in 'Terrorism in Nigeria'.
Is the Ukraine situation garnering too much attention compared to other crises in our world, such as the war in Syria, or the bombings in Iraq, attacks in Nigera, and the South Sudan Peace Talks in Ethiopia?
