Newsday

Available for over a year

On Sunday, suspected Boko Haram militants launched an attack on a convoy carrying the Nigerian army's new chief in the northeast of the country - one soldier was killed but the chief was unharmed. The attack comes as Nigeria, Chad, Niger, Benin and Cameroon agree on the composition of a new multinational taskforce to tackle Boko Haram. Manji Cheto, an Africa risk analyst at Teneo Intelligence says funding will be one of the challenges before the task force can be deployed.
