7500 were killed in Nigeria alone due to terrorism in 2014. Here's a complete report if anyone wants to read:

I have read (no link and could be wrong) that the EU is now pulling support from Africa's fight against terror, because they now have to deal with it more within their own borders.
No point other than to bring attention to a population that I feel is getting ignored and to get anyone else's thought on the ongoings in the continent.
It's a region with a bad history, and even badder economic prospects.
Seriously, South Africia adopting the policy where white farmers must give up land to blacks depressed me. They're one of the few countries with good economic potential.
