Chibok girls

On the fifth anniversary of Boko Haram kidnapping 276 schoolgirls in Nigeria 100 are still missing and many more children are suffering.

The Islamic State affiliate Boko Haram reportedly released a video Monday showing some of the women and girls of the hundreds abducted from Chibok, Nigeria, in 2014, all asserting they would never return to their normal lives.

Islamist militants from the Boko Haram terror group killed at least fifteen civilians Wednesday night in coordinated attacks including three female suicide bombers in the large city of Maiduguri in northeastern Nigeria.

Parents of the girls and young women kidnapped by Islamic State affiliate Boko Haram from Chibok, Nigeria, in 2014 are still waiting to see the 82 released as part of a trade with the terrorist group this weekend. The government claims it is still conducting physical and mental health evaluations, ensuring that none of the girls will pose a danger to society once freed.

Nigerian authorities announced the release of an estimated 82 of the 276 girls kidnapped by the Islamic State-affiliated terrorist group Boko Haram from a mostly Christian school in Chibok, Nigeria in 2014 this weekend. The release appears to be part of a deal that may have gained freedom for jailed Boko Haram terrorists.

The Nigerian government initially confirmed, but later denied, that 21 schoolgirls who were kidnapped by the Islamic State branch Boko Haram from Chibok, Nigeria, were recently released in a prisoner swap for four imprisoned high-ranking jihadis.

About 100 schoolgirls are unwilling to go home after being kidnapped more than two years ago in Nigeria by the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL)-linked jihadist group Boko Haram. Officials say the girls may have been radicalized, according to news reports.

Nigeria is walking back its claim that Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau was killed in an airstrike last week. Shekau is now described as “wounded.”

Boko Haram – one of 34 ISIS affiliates and among the world’s deadliest terror groups – in 2014 notoriously kidnapped more than 200 school girls in Chibok, Nigeria. The administration responded with a memorable Twitter campaign featuring First Lady Michelle Obama holding a placard with the

The Christian mother of one of the estimated 218 Chibok schoolgirls who remain in the clutches of the jihadist group Boko Haram after being kidnapped from Nigeria’s Borno state more than two years ago told Breitbart News Saturday that her faith in God has helped and consoled her through the ongoing ordeal.

The Nigerian army issued a press release on Wednesday announcing that it had rescued 11,595 civilians held hostage by the Islamic State-affiliated terrorist organization Boko Haram and asserting once again that the group is close to total defeat.

Thousands of African girls and women who have managed to escape the clutches of the Nigeria-based jihadist group Boko Haram are stigmatized by their communities upon their return.

Nigeria liberated 71 people held hostage by ISIS-affiliated Boko Haram jihadists in the northeastern city of Maiduguri, including 66 women and children, according to the country’s military.

In interviews, girls and women rescued from the Nigerian terrorist group Boko Haram last week say that the jihadists are desperately trying to sell the girls they have left to fund purchases of new weapons, which they severely lack.

The Nigerian war against jihadist terror group Boko Haram now has two clear fronts: the Sambisa forest, a northeastern enclave said to be the last stronghold of the group; and Lake Chad, whose islands are becoming increasingly easy targets for Boko Haram to hit.

The parents of more than 200 girls who remain missing from the Nigerian town of Chibok expressed outrage at the federal government following the announcement that hundreds of female captives had been liberated from Boko Haram terrorists, but none were the famed missing girls of Chibok. “To us, the government no longer has credibility,” said one parent.
