Nigerian troops rescued 200 girls and 93 women Tuesday in the Sambisa Forest, the Nigerian Armed Forces announced on its official Twitter account.


quote:

The armed forces could not immediately confirm if any of the rescued girls were among the 200 schoolgirls the militant group Boko Haram kidnapped in April 2014 from the northeastern Nigerian village of Chibok. That abduction led to a social media movement, #BringBackOurGirls, to rescue them.

quote:

More than 200 schoolgirls abducted from their school dormitories by Boko Haram militants last year are not among the nearly 300 girls and women rescued in an army operation on Tuesday, an army spokesman said.

Well thank goodness for it. Not many will care here but it's a big deal there.

these poor girls

lord only knows what kind of torment they went through while imprisoned by these animals.

Let's just hope they can overcome this the slightest bit and live some sort of normal life.

Those of you who doubted the power of the hashtag should be ashamed of yourselves

Minor miracle right there. I can't imagine how they negotiated that place. Must have had an insider feeding them info.
