Nigerian Archbishop's Plea: Don't Forget About Boko Haram

In just the last year, more than 10,000 people were killed as a result of terrorism in the region, the AP reports. Boko Haram’s reign of terror has also displaced more than a million people within Nigeria’s borders and forced hundreds of thousands to flee to neighboring countries as refugees,

The “monumental tragedy” caused by Boko Haram has saddened all of Nigeria, Kaigama said.

“It is important to feel concerned when one part of the world is in trouble, whether it is in the Middle East, whether it is in sub-saharan Africa, whether it is in Europe or America, I think we should be genuinely concerned for one another and do what we can,” the archbishop said.
