ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Elizabeth Felix stands in the middle of Maiduguri's main market, taking in the bustling scene: traders setting up stalls, customers haggling over prices, the bright colors of stacked fabric and shoes, fresh produce blending with the rich aroma of dried fish. It's a stark difference from just six months ago when the market had drowned under floodwater. Torrential rains swept across Central and West Africa, causing devastating flooding, among the harshest climate change effects the region has seen in decades.
