Udo Schmidt/Ruby RussellFebruary 20, 2019
People in northeast Nigeria have been suffering under attacks by Boko Haram for over 10 years now. Around 20,000 people were killed and some 2 million people had to flee their homes.

Udo Schmidt met up with teachers who defy Boko Haram and teach despite all odds.
