Signs of peace in former Boko Haram hotspot

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

Maiduguri in Nigeria's north-eastern Borno State has been the epicentre of the Boko Haram insurgency since 2009. Gun and bomb attacks have left hundreds dead, thousands injured, and tens of thousands displaced. Now the government says it has defeated the militants and peace is returning to the area. Focus on Africa's Chris Ewokor reports. (Photos: Vendors and citizens in Maiduguri. Credit: Chris Ewokor, Âé¶¹Éç Africa.)
