This episode is the first of a two-part series. In part one we learn who and what Boko Haram is, the different ways they have been framed in the media, and about some of the problems that have become evident in the national and international responses to this organization.
Our guest for part one is Mercy Ette, a Nigerian journalist and a visiting research fellow at the University of Leeds where she is working to establish a survivor group to tackle stigmatization and isolation among survivors of Boko Haram. Allamin Foundation, which is featured in the second part of this two-part series, is one the local partners on this project. Mercy’s partner on this project at the University of Leeds is Nicolas Salazar Sutil, our guest from episode 78.
