Street scene in Kano, Nigeria on March 31, 2013.Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and it is also one of the world’s most important oil producers: 50% of the population lives in poverty, and in the north, where the situation is particularly dire, the number is more than 70%. Nigeria is evenly split between the primarily Muslim north and a Christian south, and although most people live in harmony, since 2009, a murky Islamic insurgent group, Boko Haram, which translates as Western Religion is Sacrilegious, has become increasingly radical and violent, targeting Nigerian security forces and churches. As tensions flair, there is a looming potential for civil war that could threaten to engulf the country and tear Nigeria apart –a disastrous outcome for all of Africa. Photographer Ed Kashi intends to make two trips to the Northeast to complete this story. This story will show how converging issues are impacting Nigeria’s growing crisis: religious strife, economic disparity, ethnicity, and a fight for resources.
