In Nigeria, Islamist militant group Boko Haram has killed thousands since it launched an uprising in 2009. Civilians are targeted almost daily and there are concerns that the violence will only escalate as the country gets close the 2015 elections. Many now fear the security forces are losing control of the largely Muslim northeast, to Boko Haram. VOA's Vincent Makori reports.
