The supposed location of the fabled city shifted as new regions were explored and ruled out. In what places did the conquistadors search for El Dorado? Discuss

At least 200 Christian villagers were massacred on Sunday in central Nigeria. The killings are believed to have been carried out as revenge for the slaying of 300 people, mostly Muslims, in January.
