Baga Attack Deserves as Much Attention as Charlie Hebdo

   I, too, wonder at there not being more news and more outrage over the massacre by Boko Haram of, reportedly, 2,000 souls. However many were killed, it was a significant massacre, one that it would seem should deserve our highest concern. Some have suggested news out of Africa does not get as much attention as news out of Europe, and thus the Baga attack was overshadowed by the Charlie Hebdo attack. I wonder, for it does seem the number of lives lost in Baga demand our attention as much as those lost in Charlie Hebdo.
