In case you missed it:
US - The Federal Supreme Court announced on January 16th that they will be deciding on whether same-sex couples have the right to marry in the United States under the Constitution. There could be a ruling by June of this year.
WORLD - Boko-Haram, an Islamic extremist group, attacked Maiduguri, a northeastern Nigerian city on Friday. The neighboring town of Mongunu was captured by the insurgents on Sunday, making Maiduguri, a city of over 1 million people, increasingly vulnerable. These attacks coincide with US Secretary of State John Kerry’s visit to the southwestern city, Lagos, where he is encouraging the Nigerian February elections to be conducted peacefully.
