While the world focused on the tragic killing of 17 people in Paris last week, there has been far less focus, debate and outrage about events in West Africa, where, last week, Boko Haram massacred up to 2,000 people.
The town of Baga was captured by the Islamic militant group, with hundreds, if not thousands, killed by Boko Haram.
Following the horror seen in Baga, there were further attacks across Nigeria, with 23 people killed by female suicide bombers over the weekend, including one in which a 10 year old girl was reportedly used to carry out the attack.
James Schneider, editorial director of New African Magazine, was on the Pat Kenny Show today to give us a better understanding of the events of the last few days in Nigeria and the wider aims and capabilities of Boko Haram, as well as asking if we in the West give proper attention and care to deaths in countries like Nigeria?
