Bearing Witness to the Mass Rape of Nigerian Girls by Boko Haram

For six years, Adam Nossiter, West and Central Africa bureau chief for the New York Times , has reported on the militant group. This week, he reported on the rapes and intended impregnancies of hundreds of girls and women — risking his life to get the story. The story – and the risks it took to get it -- can only be called gut-wrenching.
