Boko Haram outraged much of the world in 2014 when it abducted schoolgirls in Chibok. A few years after a military operation was launched against the armed group, it has claimed responsibility for a similar attack. Hundreds of schoolboys were kidnapped, this time in the northwest. The attack in Katsina state was initially blamed on bandit groups that have carried out kidnaps for ransom in the area. Hundreds of students are missing while others escaped. Boko Haram says it had targeted the school to fulfill a long-held aim of stopping western education. Can this group be defeated?
