Boko Haram’s six-year insurgency in North-eastern Nigeria has led to the death of some 20,000 people, destroyed more than 1,000 schools and displaced more than 2 million people. The insurgency has kept about one million children out of school in Nigeria, forcing more than two million people to flee their homes, particularly in the three neighbouring states, according to the UN children’s agency. Boko Haram has frequently targeted crowded areas — such as markets, places of worship and refugee camps — in suicide bomb attacks across northeast Nigeria and in neighboring Cameroon and Niger.
