[quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why isn't this stuff on the news ever??

The local and national news (such as Brian Williams' NBC "Wold News") spends all this time on France, "free" college, winter weather and cold temps, and other filler stories, but there is a huge massacre and nobody bats an eye?

Is there no outrage? No protests? No acknowledgement of the atrocities?[/quote]

Reporting in northern Nigeria is notoriously difficult because of instability in the areas most affected by insurgents and the terrorists’ own hostility to the press.  Journalists have been targeted by Boko Haram and, unlike in Paris, people on the ground are isolated and struggle with access to the internet and other communications. [/quote]There is enough information for the talking heads to discuss strategy and if nothing else to raise awareness of what's going on.  I have heard numerous reports about the President's absenteeism from the rally but 2 or 3 reports about the Nigerian massacre.[/quote]PP again.  If a Google map satellite can pinpoint my house and display it and the shrubbery in great detail (without my permission) then couldn't intelligence track and possibly help eliminate?

Boko Haram waited three days in the bush before attacking and overtaking the military base.  I would think there would be eyes on military installations, air strips, etc.[/quote].

The sad reality is that not all terrorist victims are equal. The real question is why are we ignoring  the Boko Haram problem if we are so focused on the war on terror? There have been many talks about ISIS and its ruthlessness but just faint peeps about B.H. This is an interesting article http://us.sputniknews.com/world/20150112/1013459723.html[/quote]Very informative article.  Thank you for sharing.  I didn't realize China had such a large stake in Nigeria.[/quote]
