The conflicts have resulted in Nigeria from religious extremist groups whose beliefs may not fall in line with the places they are invading and taking over. Why is the president doing little to help and why has the military collapsed?

This article discusses an Islamic terrorist group in Nigeria, known as Boko Haram, that opposes all elements of Western culture. They have launched numerous attacks on civilians, including kidnapping nearly 200 school girls. What sparked this violence? Will it ever stop?

The fact that it took four days for news of this attack to spread is a testament to how much location, specifically isolation, can affect the diffusion of news and information. In regards to the attack itself, I fail to see how this attack gets the group closer to achieving a goal. How does attacking a village, killing 33 people help to eliminate Western culture? This is just senseless killing.

Nigeria's CDR is 13. I think this is considerably high because Nigeria is a developing country whose population pyramid has a wide base. So, more young people, old people make up a smaller percent. I guess that means a lot of young people are dying too?
