Boko Haram Kidnaps More Girls in Nigeria (20)

Abductions Near Town Where Students Were Grabbed Reflect Lack of Protection

ACCRA, Ghana—Nigeria's Islamist insurgency on Monday kidnapped some 20 girls just miles from a small town where the group abducted several hundred schoolgirls in April, local officials said, in an attack that exposed the military's absence in an area the president pledged to protect.

The village of Garkin Fulani was preparing for its weekly market early Monday when Boko Haram fighters pulled up in a tractor trailer and began pulling young girls into the truck, said Adu Ibrahim, the area's chairman for a vigilante group called the Civilian Joint Task Force.

The village straddles the same dirt road that leads to Chibok, a small and remote town where Boko Haram kidnapped 276 schoolgirls in April. The area is the heartland of the insurgency, which has flourished over the past five years despite government efforts to suppress it.

No! The time for hashtags is over! It is now time for a strongly worded e-mail! Anything else is absolute rubbish! Has anyone created a bracelet to show how much we care yet?

Do these idiots think that the 13th century cave dwelling animals who are responsible for this give a rats you know what about twitter? Whats worse is that their mindless minions call it “taking action”. I love 21st century libtard foreign policy.

The hashtag diplomacy didn’t work. Try a plate of corned beef hash for your valiant effort, Michelle. Send them some spam.

Boko Haram is really scared of our President now.
The Democrat Party owns every terrorist attack.
