Over two hundred Nigerian school girls were kidnapped by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram on April 14th. The Nigerian government made a deal of cease fire with the group; however they are denying this ever took place. Boko Haram said that the girls have converted to Islamic religion and have been married off.
These girls were at their boarding school taking exams when Boko Haram kidnapped them. 276 girls in all were kidnapped. 57 of the girls escaped after their abduction and have been reunited with their families. However 219 girls were not fortunate enough to escape.
Nigeria has been fighting this terrorist group for five years and many Nigerians have had to flee their homes in North Nigeria and many others have lost their lives in bombings. The kidnapping of these girls is another horrible thing that Boko Haram has done in the country of Nigeria. Boko Haram and Nigeria are still at war and will be until this terrorist group stops tormenting the citizens of Nigeria. This is still relevant even though it took place seven months ago because not all the girls have been returned to their homes. #bringbackourgirls
