I've been following the growth in strength and territory of the Islamic militants of Boko Haram in the north east of Nigeria for many months now, providing continuing updates here since 26 February 2014.
Since the despicable activity of Boko Haram only continues to increase while most of the world remains either oblivious or indifferent to the extreme suffering wrought on so many in the name of Islam, I have decided to alter my coverage of Boko Haram by providing ongoing monthly updates (as I have been doing with the activities of the Islamic State). This series will be re-posted periodically on the blog itself, but will also remain easily available at the top of the side bar.
