(65,340 posts)makes me suspect that at least some people of inflence in the government there sereptitiously support the group, whether ideologically or (more likely) simply because allowing them to continue to create fear and chaos in northern Nigeria benefits some powerful people in some way.

(83,754 posts)I want three things to happen.
I want the girls to come home safely. And get the aid that they will need to overcome this.
Then I want those bastards hunted down.
And then I want the world to have full knowledge of what happened and why it happened. I don't want this issue to die after this is over. The world needs to see it, understand it, and work progressively to end it. Women are people and equal under the law. Wake up, don't stop we can never stop.
Thanks so much for your support in this BtA. We all have to stand together on the issues that would take away our rights.
