The Man who Negotiates with Boko Haram

Outlook

Available for over a year

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. (Photo: Dr Stephen Davis. Credit Julie Davis)
