well. jermain jones is doing well. there's a lot of players there as well. i think they definitely can do it. i think the last game was unlucky with portugal scoring. >> since the olympics in 2012 till this world cup. millions of people are watching this time. how are things changing and how is the popularity of the soccer grown. >> it's grown tremendously. i am loving the fact that people are glued to the tvs. people are pulling out of the work to catch the games. you go to local pubs and bars with tvs. i'm stoked. it's awesome. we have seen the women's game turn the corner after the 2011 world cup. it gets bigger and better. the same thing is going on with the men. the world cup is the epitome of

the performance review. that corporate trial by fire when every slacker gets his due. and yet, there's someone around the office who hasn't had a

performance review in a while. someone whose poor performance is slowing down the entire organization. i'm looking at you phone company dsl. check your speed. see how fast your internet can be. switch now and add voice and tv for $34.90. comcast business built for business. >> new outrage in nigeria, a shopping mall bombed in the capital city. was it the work of boko haram? the armed group holding hundreds

of school girls? >> we are boko haram. >> new violence on the rise in an oil-rich nation. what will it take to stop the attacks. >> you help us, please. >> our special report. nigeria, a nation in fear. >> this is al jazeera america. i'm john seigenthaler. nigeria is facing a crisis that so far seems too beg for it to handle. in the next half hour we explore the growing threat from boko haram, and the fear the group is striking into the hearts of nigerians. the latest a bombing in a buja, a courting at a shop -- occurring at a shopping mall as people gathered to watch the world cup, 21 killed, 52 injured. >> translation: this is not supposed to bring me here. it took me here. this is the end.

>> one suspect has been arrested. no one claimed responsibility. but today's attack is the latest in a series of violent episodes. nearly all blamed on the armed group boko haram. our correspondent covered africa for years and said there's no doubt boko haram is goodnight the attacks. >> it's an escalation of attacks launched by boko haram. they threatened to attack before. remember the bus station bombing and the one targetting a market in abuja. they target abuja and have sleeper cells in abuja. security forces warned residents of abuja that shopping malls and busy places could be targets. they'll find their way to another hear. it's becoming more and more. actually, at the moment it looks

like they are overstretched. >> for several weeks the nigerian military focused on finding the school girls. 270 are held by boko haram. they were tape in chibok in april. local media reporting 91 more adductions south of may dukara. andrew simmonds is on the ground there. >> reporter: behind the vigilante check points, a road out of may duingary leading to an area where boko haram has a big preference. it was a commapd are from this task force who was the first to report a kidnapping. he was posted inside the area. an inquiry is under way. but there needs to be checks on the accuracy of eyewitness reports. here the state capital's

displaced people center, the food cues are getting better. no one is surprised by reports of abductions. aside from hunger, there's unrest, anxiety and fear. needs of the people are obviously - food, shelter and safety. they want assurances for the future. where do they go next. who will look after the security, and who is accountable for all that has gone wrong? >> this woman is from a village attacked by boko haram three weeks ago. her husband was rounded up with others and shot dead. killers came to burn her house. she said the nigerian army was nearby. >> if they had come, we'd be happy. they should have saved him because they are the ones who are supposed to protect us. >> this man is from a neighbouring village, believing

that the federal government and the army have been neget. >> we are innocent. yet when we report on attack, they rarely come, when they do come, they come idly by, or shoot endlessly. every day we hide morning, noon and night. that's how bad teams are. >> there's a feeling of hostility not just towards bonk , but the army and politicians. what people want more than anything else is to go back to the old way of life. for now, throughout the region, there's no prospect of normality continuing. and joining us from washington d.c. is emanuel, an international human rights lawyer. he returned from a 3-week fact-timing mission to northern nigeria and spoke to several boko haram vic tells. what did you -- victims. welcome.

what did you learn on your trip? >> actually, i returned from nigeria last week. i have been back twice since that trip. what i found most shocking is the fact that we talk to some of the girls who escaped from boko haram's abduction, and they happened to be interviewed by local security agencies, and the multinational task force that came in to help. you'd think eight weeks after the abduction the intelligent forces should have got to the girls. >> why would you rate the performance. >> i would like to give them an e for effort. that is a struggle. every time there's an attack. that is a failure of security. we have lost over 1,000 lease in

the eight weeks. >> this is the part - sorry, this is the part that moan people. in the just in the united states but around the world. how do these people disappear, or how are outline these people killed and no one sees it. there's no sign of where they went? >> it's disturbing. what boko haram is doing is wiping out villages and communities, as you saw in the news, sometimes they are there for hours, sometimes for days. there's not an adequate response from the military. >> there are people there that see this happen. >> yes, now, one. things that boko haram does is they shoot down or blow up telecommunication masks, so it's difficult for people to phone or call out. >> there's no 911 to call in

nigeria. that is part of the problem. the kill engs are more than we realised. more are killed. the first six months than the whole of last year. >> is it fear of people afraid to say anything. >> at this point, people are no longer afraid to say anything and say if you can't protect them, give us the arms to protect ourselves. i heard this from several. that is a cause for concern. they feel the state is no longer able to protect them. and they want to take the law into their hands. >> you travelled to me. what is life like for them. here is the bad part. they had not been fed by the u.n. for 49 days. yesterday they went to a call.

he's been attacked by snakes and all sorts of things. i said "why don't you flee to cameroon." the folks are sort offing. if the terrorists don't get you, the snakes don't get you, so you starve in the camps. it's a terrible humanitarian situation. the u.n., and the u.s. are not doing enough to provide relief and assistance to the victims. >> thank you, good to have you on the programme. thank you very much. >> thank you. when the nigerian schoolgirls were first kidnapped people around the world expressed their anger. in more than two months violence seems to get worse. jonathan betz is here with more. >> a lot has happened and a lot has not happened in the 72 days since the girls disappeared. it began april 14th, when 300

school girls from taken. some escaped. as the tails became clear, the attack caught the world's attention. 10 days later the bring back the girls campaign grew. michelle obama tweets out the famous photo. in may the united states offers to send 80 troops to chad to look for the girls. boko haram releases have youedio of missing girls, the first time we see them and offers to swap them for prisoners. the government refuses to negotiate. violence kicks up after that. attacks on two villages on may 21st z killed 27. followed by two days of violence this month. 20 gunme killing 15. the next day there's a bombing at a world cup watch bombing. in the past week, reports of more kidnappings, 90 tone.

most young -- tape, mostly young girls. and a bombing at a shopping mall. still, all these days later, there's no sign of the messing girls. thank you. boko haram is nothing new. the group has been committing acts of violence in africa's popular country for years. randall pinkston reports. >> reporter: for more than five years boko haram's fighters used violent attacks to gain publicity, with mass killings, bombings and destruction of property. >> we are boko haram. >> reporter: the self-proclaimed leader declared war on christians, saying his group wants to establish islamic law in nige. the u.s. government says abubakar shekau is a terrorist. he tack over after the -- took over offer the capture and execution of the group's

founder. nigeria's government launched several unsuccessful straights. his story says boko haram does not have widespread appeal. >> boko haram is a friendship j movement, a terrorist group which has assassinated muslim larned men. it has terror used communities, and it is a small group relatively speeting but casts a -- speaking but casts a shadow. >> reporter: mass kidnapping of the school girls is one of a series of bold attacks. wealth is centered in the south, where christians are the majority. boko haram is in the north, mostly muslim. in 2010 boko haram engineered a prison break freeing 700

inmates. the next year it organised a bombing in the capital. last year it was accused of murdering 65 school bees. fighters targeted abuja, blowing up a bus station. middle east analyst says boko haram has a credibility problem. so does the nigeian government. boko haram started out as a group that preyed on the grievances of northern nigeria. they tried to fill a gap where the government was not seen as credible or worthy. the problem is the nigerian government did not step up that buoyed. >> reporter: most of the members grew up in societies where men were in cell. a reason girls' schools are targeted is because boko haram members believe educated women

are a threat to male authority. coming up next - the problem is not just nigeria. a look at the threats many women around the world face every day oil - nigeria is a big oil producer yet so many are poorer than ever. >> no noise, no clutter, just real reporting. the new al jazeera america mobile app, available for your apple and android mobile device. download it now

72 days after hundreds of nigerian school girls disappeared, no one seems to know where they are. there are reports they were sold into marriage or used as sex slade. we have this report. >> reporter: a few weeks after the kidnapping protests grew and pressure was on to find the young nigerian school girls - teenagers, whose only crime was trying to get an education. after the kidnappings at amnesty international, they feared the girls faced daily violence, including sexual violence, and worried about the lack of action by the nigerian government. >> i'm concerned about their safety and the 300 girlfriend that have been missing. >> reporter: another group has

been on the ground. those they help are rattled, each though they are not in the area where the girls are taken. the vice president says it was an elotional time when the kidnappings come to light. devastation and frustration. it's incredibly frustrating to see that this is happening and not being able to move quickly and do something themselves. >> the kidnapping of so many young women at the same time from the same place brought international condemn nation. >> i hope that this unfortunate incident what what is happening now continues to hope people's eyes to what women are facing around the world to the violence against women and girls. >> a study by the world health organization found 35% of women experienced abuse by their partner, or sexual violence by someone other than their

partner. >> violence against women is called a global health problem of epidemic proportions. >> sexual violence has long ghoond in hand in conflicts with war. in the early 1990s, after the rapes of thousands of women in bosnia, such violence as an official war crime, a crime against humanity. >> we have seen people taken to the international court because of their perpetration of sexual violence in war situations. 40 years ago it would not have been imaginable. >> that is a start. these groups say to end sexual violence requires cultural change, education, economic opportunity and rising the status of women. no easy task in many countries. >> if the sight of hundred of girls in the hands of kidnappers is not enough to force the world to deal with boko haram. what is. the u.s. sent some work.

others say the international community should do more. jonathan betz is back with that part of the story. >> it's hard to believe it's been 72 days sense the girls disappeared. the u.n. undersecretary secretary-general told me she is concerned not only about the kidnap girls, but despite attention, it keeps happening. >> it's not concerning that we have these girls, but it tips. i have lost count of the number of girls and women that we have lost. that is why this has to be a story concerning not just the nigerian, but the whole world. everywhere is at risk. the education of girls in miming earia has taken a knock. 60% of girls are from the north. so clearly it has given us a lot of setback and investment by the

government and support partners had been going on and pushing for education there. we are in a lim be as far as education and safety and trauma. >> and as you mentioned over the weekend, we hear reports of 90 more children taken from different veil edges in nigeria. what needs to happen to stop this happening. why are the children not protected? >> we need to create protection, and greater and more voices. that are carrying the story, highlighting the fact that the situation is getting worse. we have right now also supported the creation of a peace network, of women on the ground. because they have really stayed the course. they have continued almost on a daily basis to take actions and to advocate for both advice ict yit of the issue and support of the parent. we'd like to support them to keep their voices loud and keep

the story alive. >> i know there's a lot of focus on the nigerian government, but cap the u.n. do more to try to solve and stop the crimes. >> well, as you know, this is a security operation. someone has got to find a way of rescuing and bring the girls back. and the u.n. cannot just do that by itself. it needs to do that in a coordinated way, and in collaboration with the government. this is something that the u.n. has been trying to do, but it's weird that thus far we have not been able to have the breakthrough that we are all looking to, for. >> why can we not reach the breakthrough, do you get the impression that the nigerian government does not need or want it. >> you cannot just storm the area and risk death of the people you try to rescue. i don't know, i would imagine that you'd need to have, but so

far we obviously don't have the results that we need. we don't have the results that we need. we don't know what is happening to the girls, we fear what is happening to them. >> what is the biggest weakness in the nigerian government, stopping them preventing the attacks. >> the security of the people is a responsibility of a government. i think that deployment of greater capacity to do this, and do it in a sustained way. but i guess the citizens who i fear probably must be gripped with fear. it is also important because i guess we need a lot of intelligence and participation by members of the community, and solidarity. defenseless as they may be. >> we mentioned a global

campaign after word spread of the kidnappings. >> do you worry attention is waning. >> this is what worries us most. that's why we are enging the people that supported the country not to demobilize themselves. we cannot stop the campaign until we have had a breakthrough and our support for the peace network of women is in part an effort to bolster the campaign and make sure through the peace network we are able to keep the story alive locally in nigeria in the region, and globally. >> how do you convince people that progress is being made and it is happening in trying to find the girls? >> it's hard to do that. i cannot say for sure. i have evidence that at best we know that we have no option but to continue. we can't disengage. >> frustrating for her and

others to keep up the pressure when there's little progress. mixed opinions as to who is to blame. as time pass, it's clear that brink back our girls -- bring back our girls is failing income and inequality in nigeria is some of the most extreme. they are plagued by poverty and corruption. >> reporter: 2014 was supposed to be nigeria's year to celebrate success. the economy is booming and middle class is growing. it overtook south africa as the largest economy. a change in how the gross domestic product is counted is a reason. and there's oil. it is the fifth largest exporter with revenues of around $80 billion. there are doubt whether that money reaches the nigerian people. the government acknowledged more than $10 billion in oil revenue

is missing. nigeria is ranked one of the most corrupt counties on earth according to transparency intersection amount. and the hopeful -- boko haram in the north. boko haram tried to capitalize on the sense that northeners are not getting their share. >> they need to focus in the north. >> that's what the leaders have to face. oil, of course, is a resource that can make any area wealthy. in parts of nigeria most of the people live on less than $1. in the first person report we hear from photo journalist ed-cashe, spending years documenting the struggle of those communities. >> the oil industry in nigeria

began in 1958. over the last 50-plus years it became one the top 10 oil producers in the world. in the beginning, nigeria was poor. under developed. oil was a new commodity bringing in tremendous wealth. with it brought problems for the people. what happened in the niger delta is a classic case that i have seen where oil and gas is produced, except maybe the gulf states. it creates wealth for the companies and politician and business people. for the local people and the environment, there are many ways
