The murderous group Boko Haram continue to terrify the people of northeastern Nigeria; their goal is to force them into submission to Islam.
Over the past week they bombed a marketplace with a wired 10-year-old girl, and they wiped out a village, with the dead estimated at 2,000. Nigeria's carnage, however, didn't get the press that went to Paris.
In Paris, last week's attacks left about 16 victims killed, the terrorists identified, and three of them killed by police.
In Nigeria, last week's attacks left about 2000 victims killed - and the terrorists not stopped, found or apprehended.
Where was the Nigerian military in all this? Amnesty International suggests that they were there but ineffective; whether it was due to fear, corruption, or lack of ammunition is not known.
