Nigerian Government Gains Wizardly Allies In Fight Against Boko Haram

Check out this piece from Vice on the Association of Nigerian Witches and Wizards (WIZTAN), which is fighting back against Boko Haram. According to reporter Mark Hay, WIZTAN has made some predictions about ultimate success against Boko Haram, the group known for abduction of schoolgirls and for attacks on the Nigerian government. These predictions include the capture of the group's leader by the end of 2014 and (it looks like WIZTAN is hedging its bets a little here) that not all the abducted schoolgirls will be freed and returned to their families.
