Amina Suleman left her village in Maradun, Zamfara state, in northwestern Nigeria , fleeing Islamist militants. "They killed many of us, and looted our properties and animals. They burnt everything including our food," she told DW. The attacks happened seven years ago, but the security situation still hasn't improved. Government forces are fighting  jihadi militias and bandits to stamp out kidnappings and extortion. Suleman lives with her seven children in an abandoned building near Sokoto. "
