Nigeria's National Human Rights Commission says insurgents and bandits have killed more people in the first half of 2025 than in all of 2024.
DW’s Fanny Facsar sent this report from Borno State, where the armed Islamist group Boko Haram and an Islamic State splinter group are active.

She is now the Executive Director of the Neem Foundation, an organisation that runs field programmes on rehabilitation, reintegration, mental health, and community resilience in the northeast of Nigeria.
