Business Insider reports on the deadly insurgency being carried out by militant Islamic group Boko Haram in Nigeria:
Boko Haram’s rampage through the town of Baga and 16 smaller communities near the Nigerian side of Lake Chad has likely killed several hundred people — although it now appears that the early high estimate of 2,000 killed is excessive and has little factual grounding.
Neverthteless, the attack may end up having the largest death toll of any single Boko Haram atrocity.
The massacre in Baga is still typical of the extremist group and fits into an ominous bigger picture. At this point, the insurgency in Northern Nigeria is one of the deadliest conflicts on earth, with over 6,000 people killed in 2014 and nearly 10,500 dead since the beginning of 2011.
