Kidnapped in Nigeria: A personal testimony

Download Kidnapped in Nigeria: A personal testimony

Yet another kidnapping in Nigeria's Kaduna State, where gunmen abducted around 100 people including women and children, that's according to local authorities. We hear a very brave and harrowing interview from a young woman who was taken by Boko Haram back in 2013, but had a lucky escape.

Also Niger's military junta asks remaining US troops to leave the country. Why were they there in the first place and what would their absence mean for an already unstable region?
