Still 112 young Nigerians are from Chibok in the violence of the terrorist group Boko Haram. The “Bring back our Girls”campaign would not resign. She is disappointed by the government.

It was one of the best days of the five-year Drama of the abducted Chibok Schoolgirls. 82 freed young women sitting in may of 2017, in a hall of the presidential Palace in Nigeria’s capital, Abuja. The television pictures of the reception show tired faces; rigid and blankly sitting, a lot of students there, while promises are made.

, We will do the Best for you, what we can,” said a Doctor, on behalf of the government. “This will be the Best thing you can get on in the world.” The young women responded with Silence.

The government allegedly had five Boko-Haram-commanders paid your released, and approximately three million euros to the terrorist organization. This is supposed to be the price for the release of the 82 young women. Officially it was never confirmed. Before 21 students had been freed, others were able to escape.

“, We get no information,”

Still 112 former pupils are in the violence of the terrorist group Boko Haram. And still members of the Initiative “Bring back our girls” in Abuja, meet daily to “Sit out”. You want to keep the memory of the women awake.

But what do you know about your destiny? Fatima Abba Kaka of the “Bring back our girls” says: “to be honest: Nothing! We get no information from the military or the government. No one says anything. Total Silence.”

Fatima Abba Kaka makes to the Nigerian government and bitter accusations. Your impression is that politicians have forgotten the Chibok girls.

the government Has done too little?

If something happens in the Background, in order to free the young women, is not known. Many say that the Nigerian government had done too little to rescue the Chibok girls.

Adoabi Nwaubani say that is not fair. She has long researched and finally, a book about their fate written. Nwaubani says the “Bring back our girls”campaign have worked. Before and after the Chibok abduction, thousands of other girls had been abducted. By “Bring back our girls” has responded to the government: “as a result, the government was forced, against Boko Haram, and these forgotten girls were rescued.”

Empty tables with the name signs for the still Displaced are reminiscent of the Chibok girls.

The hard way

The rescued women and girls have experienced sexual violence, military clashes, and captivity. Some of the Chibok girls now living in the United States, can visit the school, some of the study. Others have returned to their home village of Chibok and try again in a normal life back. So good it’s kind.
