Attention on the extremist group #BokoHaram is dwindling. Some may feel the topic isn't "sexy" anymore.
But there's still a conflict raging in the Lake Chad area. People are still getting killed. Women are still getting kidnapped.
For those who are unfamiliar with Boko Haram and what's going on in northeast Nigeria/Lake Chad region, I recommend following Abdulkareem Haruna's reporting on @PremiumTimesng
He's done brilliant some brilliant reporting

Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish has consistently covered the Boko Haram insurgency, when many other news outlets looked away
@newhumanitarian also has in-depth coverage, much from @Enugu62 and others.
@CrisisGroup keeps an eye on the insurgency also

I'm staying on the Boko Haram story because lives are at stake.
I've written feature stories exploring this from a social angle

In 2015, I met scores of orphans. No mother, no father. Boko Haram fighters had killed them.
Their stories have never left me.
I'm contemplating going back to find those children and see how they're doing.
