The Man who Negotiates with Boko Haram

Australian Dr Stephen Davis tried to rescue Chibok girls kidnapped by Nigerian militants.

Dr Stephen Davis has been negotiating with the Nigerian militants, Boko Haram, for the release of the more than 200 girls kidnapped from a school in Chibok. On the face of it he is a very unlikely negotiator - he started life as a teacher working with aboriginal communities in the far north of Australia.
