The war with Boko Haram has killed 12,000 people so far, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan said in a speech to a weekend summit in Paris: “Our People had to leave because we didn’t know how to defend ourselves,” says Michael Yohanna, a 57 year old leader of the Christian community in Gwoza, about 100 kilometers northeast of the village of Chibok, where the school girls were abducted.

The statistics are horrifying: in the northeastern district of Gwoza alone, 147 Christians have been killed in the past year, 87 churches have been torched, 56 villages have been emptied of all Christians and close to 15,000 people have been forced to flee, according to the community’s leaders.
