soldiers from nigeria were killed in december 2018. some of their deadliest attacks took place this year. number one, the multinational joint tax force has weakened in the last 18 months or so because chad has been dragging its feet and says it would not continue in the multinational task force because other countries are not paying their fair share. the other reason is the continuous weakness of the security and law enforcement system in nigeria and other countries and to find that the area in the northeastern part of virginia and the northwest where the attack took place, it is easy to supply arms, fighters, and all that. the area where this particular incident took place is not far from the sahara where they make weapons in that part of the world. >> this lack of understanding, or it almost sounds like an argument as you are describing it, between the joint task was countries -- is there a link between that and the fact that boko haram over the past 18 months has been getting stronger and stronger? >> there is definitely a link. whe

it is not the first time large numbers of students have been kidnapped in nigeria, especially in the north. viewers will remember the famous case of girls kidnapped in north—eastern nigeria in 2014, leading to widespread support across the world, including from the then first lady michelle 0bama. this is different, in the north—west of nigeria and not an area where islamist militants have been active traditionally in the past. in that area what tends to happen is you have a lot of kidnapping for ransom, so here they are referred to as bandits, armed men who target soft targets like schools, civilians, and try to get money from them. no group has yet claimed responsibility, but because of the geographical location, at the moment we think it is more likely to be kidnappers rather than islamist terrorists. i suppose it highlights the lack of security in nigeria, that people can do this is really alarming. very alarming. security is theissue alarming. very alarming. security is the issue for this administration right now. when the president additionally ran for president, he said asa

they are trying hard to amplify what is happening in nigeria. with the boko haram massacre, and we believe about 110 civilians were killed, this is because the local community felt so unprotected by the state authority that they actually made a deal with boko haram militants that they would feed them, that they would provide them with resources and support if they were left alone. some militants came back and overstepped and actually took forcibly key elements of these farmers livelihoods. and when the farmers just went to get their possessions back, this is what it resulted in. it resulted in the horror that was perpetuated over the weekend. they both rise from the same place, which is assents by nigerian citizens that its government is ineffective at best and corrupt at worst. amy: nima elbagir, we're going to go to break. we come back, we want -- you are based in london. we want to ask about covid and the vaccine in london. but also the latest news on ethiopia with so many refugees fleeing from to gray into sudan, which is where you are from.
