Just how many were slaughtered is a matter of debate. The army claims 150 died, while eyewitnesses describe streets littered with corpses. What happened to the international mobilisation sparked in the spring by the #BringBackOurGirls movement? Why can't West Africa's largest army and its neighbours defeat the jihadists?
