## Resource

Nigeria’s president has approved the largest military expansion in years, adding 28,000 soldiers and four new army divisions to tackle escalating violence from Islamist militants, separatists, and kidnapping gangs. Recent attacks—including the massacre of 20 villagers and the abduction of 46 students—highlight the urgent need for stronger security. New army headquarters and 50,000 additional police officers are part of a $4 billion defense push, but experts warn recruiting is tough amid high casualties. While some victories have been claimed, militant threats remain fierce. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
