On Jan. 3rd, four days before the Charlie Hebdo shooting in Paris which killed 17, Boko Haram militants in Nigeria attacked the border town of Baga and surrounding villages, slaughtering the residents – majority of them women, children and elderly. The death toll has been reported to be more than 2,000 so far, and the attack is ongoing. (Nigeria has presidential elections next month and it’s said the violence might further escalate.) The mammoth killings, however, haven’t generated even a fraction of coverage, or even sympathy, in the media the world over, including the Indian media. It rated coverage on the international pages of the Hindu, TOI, Express and HT, but no big headlines even there.
