There have been massive attacks in Northern Nigeria in the town of Bama. This happened after the presidential spokesman said the army was "winning the war" against Islamist militants. More than 245 people have been killed this year alone by suspected Islamists. Boko Haram has killed thousands, including many Muslims and Christians, since it began its uprising in 2009. A state of emergency was declared in Borno and two neighbouring states last year, with thousands of extra troops sent to the region, but the attacks have continued.
