Gunmen attack Schools

In Nigeria, gunmen have been raiding schools, burning them to the ground. The chief instigator's name seems to be Boko Haram, meaning "Western education is sacrilege".  A man using the name Abul-Qaqa told reporters he was representing Boko Haram. This happened two days before they attacked Gamboru Primary School. The government is deploying soldiers across hot spots and giving its policemen license to search without a warrant. So far, this has brought no results and the government is trying to protect its people by having them go to numerous checkpoints. There was recently another attack in the central state Kaduna, which sits just on the dividing line between Christian south, and Muslim north. These attacks need to stop. The people are scared, and currently the government's methods are not producing results. They need to try something new to protect its people from radicals. Hopefully, this situation will get cleaned up soon, but it seems Nigeria is not the only country in need.
