The government of Nigeria met last week with leaders of Boko Haram to discuss an end to the growing violence against Christians by the Muslim terrorist group.
"BH (Boko Haram) has mentioned a conditional ceasefire but it wants all its
members released from prison. The government sees this as unacceptable but is
willing to release foot soldiers," a traditional leader and civil rights
activist involved in the talks told Reuters, asking not to be named.
"It is the first time a ceasefire has been mentioned, so it is a massive
positive, but given the lack of trust a resolution is still a way off," he
added [more].
