Boko Haram and Nigeria

Reuters Video Video: Reuters Video Video: Nigerian refugees cross Chad Lake to flee Boko Haram violence This is the harrowing account of a former Boko Haram captive who says she spent several weeks with the Chibok girls late last year in Gwoza, a Boko Haram stronghold in northeastern Nigeria, according to Globe and Mail. Her account is difficult to verify, but was detailed, credible and partially corroborated by reports from other former captives. Mana Rabiee reports. The abductions of more than 200 teenage schoolgirls from Chibok provoked a global wave of shock and outrage, sparking an international Bring Back Our Girls campaign and pledges of help from Western governments, including Canada. Even after Nigeria announced the recapture of Gwoza on March 27, there was no sign of the abducted girls. But with the first anniversary of the abductions due to be marked on Tuesday by rallies and marches around the world, their fate is still unknown. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
