Riding With the Nigerian Soldiers Fighting Boko Haram
The photographer Glenna Gordon accompanied the Nigerian military to regions where Islamist militants have terrorized residents.
This year, I spent most of the month of January in northeastern Nigeria on a reporting trip for The Times Magazine with the writer Sarah Topol to tell the story of boys abducted by Boko Haram and forced to become child soldiers. During this time, I was also able to photograph parts of the conflict that are rarely seen, including a night patrol with Nigerian soldiers and a road that was attacked by Boko Haram the day before.
