Boko Haram massacre

Another massacre in northern Nigeria by this terrorist group that appears to have no ideology and no goal other than to spread terror. Protected content dead - mostly children and elderly people. The figures are truly shocking.

From my perspective, it appears the Nigerian authorities do have the resources to fight back against these ruthless murders, but choose not to. However, I am no expert on the region so am interested to hear from Nigerians and other people who are better informed.

What are your thoughts? Can Nigeria fight back successfully if only there is the will? Can other countries in the region help? Finally, who funds Boko Haram?
