It seems like about once every other day we read of an outrage like this is Nigeria. Where the heck is the government? Why are they not actively stomping Boko’s guts out?
Nigeria is split between a Christian south and a Muslim north.
Aggressive action against Muslim “activist groups” risks antagonizing their co-religionists and increasing their support. Could eventually lead to civil war, so the government walks softly and carries a not very big stick.
