Whoever wins February’s presidential election in Africa’s most populous country will face an increasingly confident Islamist insurgency *** Just before dusk on a recent afternoon in Abuja, the Nigerian capital, a small crowd begins to gather under the trees of a local park. The people unfurl banners, set up a speaker system and arrange a few dozen plastic chairs in a semicircle. Some wear designer suits, others vivid African prints. One is draped in the full hijab of a conservative Muslim woman, but instead of the traditional black it is a vibrant red, silk-screened with white lettering that reads, BRING BACK OUR GIRLS. The woman picks up a mike. “It’s been 280 days since Boko Haram abducted our daughters, and the government has done nothing. What do we want?” “We want our girls back and alive!” the crowd responds.
