One year later, Nigerian schoolgirls are still missing

It’s been months since I wrote about the missing Nigerian schoolgirls — mainly because the information coming from the Nigerian government and international news outlets was so unreliable. But it’s still an important story that gets surprisingly little coverage.

All I can say for sure is that there are several hundred girls who were kidnapped by the Islamic terrorist organization Boko Haram that are still being held captive. Some reports indicated that women, men and young boys had also been taken at some point after the initial April 15, 2014, abduction of nearly 300 girls, but most reports only focused on the missing girls.
