The week of January 5th to 9th, 2015 was a sad period in France since 14 people were killed by men affiliated with terrorists groups. A million or so people and world leaders came out in support of the victims and also to stand up for the freedom of the press. During that same week, over 2,000 people were killed in Nigeria in bomb blasts orchestrated by men affiliated with the terrorist group, Boko Haram. One bomb was strapped to two 10 years old girls and detonated when the children were in the presence of a large group of people. Both countries were inundated by horrific incidents, yet the massive deaths in Nigeria was never emphasized by the press as France's situation. Who marched and cried for the bombing victims of Nigeria? Doesn't that situation deserve equally attention as France's?
