The city gate in Maiduguri, Nigeria
Awful news:
Three bombings, including one by a female suicide attacker, killed at least 47 people in Maiduguri on Saturday, in the latest violence blamed on Boko Haram.
Many children were among the dead and at least 50 others were wounded in the explosions that hit two crowded markets and a busy bus station.
The Nigerian Islamist militants have relentlessly attacked Maiduguri throughout their six-year uprising, which has cost more than 13,000 lives and security forces in the city have struggled to contain the bloodshed.
