Boko Haram jihadists continue to ramp up attacks one month before elections in Nigeria. As the crisis sparked by the insurgency deepens, large parts of the northeast risk being disenfranchised in February's vote. Also, Tunisia marks the fourth anniversary of the fall of Ben Ali, but beneath the celebrations of an ultimately successful democratic transition are persistent security concerns. Finally, we head to Gabon, where one group of beauty boffs are trying to get more curves onto the catwalk.
