A Catholic Archbishop in Nigeria has accused the West of ignoring the threat of the militant Islamist group Boko Haram. <br /><br /> The comment from Ignatius Kaigama comes after what is thought to be the worst ever massacre by the group: as many as 2,000 people were killed on January the 3rd in northern Nigeria.<br /><br /> Kaigama says the world has to show more determination to halt the group’s advance, and “show the same spirit and resolve as that expressed after the terrrorist attacks in France”. <br /><br /> There is also worldwide condemnation over reports that Boko Haram used a child of ten-years-old to carry out a suicide bombing in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, killing at least 19 people.<br /><br /> Two female bombers also killed four people and injured many more in another northern town.<br /><br /> Pope Francis has also expressed his concern about the atrocities carried out by Boko Haram, which the Nigerian government is struggling to tackle.
