Nigeria's 200+ schoolgirls in Boko Haram's claws going through hell ....


but does anybody give a fig?

Will the almighty America and her ever-ready allies who focus on the Middle East but ignore Africa, will they for once  have the courtesy to scan  satellites' info  to see where the 200+ innocent Nigerian school girls are kept in bondage by Boko Haram?  
Will drones be deployed/employed to get a mapping so the Nigeria's inefficient military and police force can be hand-fed the info to get them to move their butts?
I doubt it.

Nigeria is one country that NATO would not be criticized for invading and taking over. The govt. there is so corrupt and inefficient, even the worst that NATO could do, would be a thousand times better than what the govt. does.



From TheGuardianUK:
....The colonial government had marked the forest out as a game reserve. Today, Sambisa has become one of the strongest bases of the Boko Haram insurgents who run back into its dark recesses anytime they have finished their slaughter of harmless citizens.

The families of more than 230 Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by the Islamist insurgents two weeks ago threatened to go into the forest themselves to try and find their daughters. The girls, aged mostly between 16 and 18 years old, were rounded up at gunpoint after militants overpowered a military guard outside their boarding school in Chibok, in north-eastern Borno state. The Nigerian military have focussed their efforts against the group in this area........

......According to Professor Umar Maryah of University of Maiduguri, the forest covers an area stretching approximately 60,000 square kilometres across the north east from Borno, Yobe, Gombe, Bauchi states along the Darazo corridor, Jigawa and right up to some parts of Kano State in the far north......

......It actually took the intelligence services a long time to discover that the game reserve had become a hideout for the sect. They waited three years until several lives had been lost before acting reluctantly on the intelligence advises,” an intelligence source told the Nation. “As a matter of fact, Sambisa is not the only hideout of the insurgents.”

The source said they believe the school girls kidnapped by Boko Haram two weeks ago are now “at the beck and call” of the group and fears that they “could become the latest sex slaves of the insurgents”.

“The girls will be moved tactically from one base to another mostly in the night so that they cannot recognise where they were. They will finally end up in Sambisa or Algoni, the two most dreaded bases remaining for the managers of the nation’s security to bring down,” the source added.

The source said Nigeria's intelligence agencies are willing to act to take down the Boko Haram base, but their efforts have been hampered by the government........

From ABC:
...Abducted schoolgirls: Parents protests    in Nigeria over lack of action on missing students.
.....Parents and supporters gathered outside government offices and pleaded for officials in Abuja to find the girls.
"May God curse every one of those who has failed to free our girls," said Enoch Mark, whose daughter and two nieces were among the students abducted from the government girls secondary school.....

........President Goodluck Jonathan has faced scathing criticism over the attacks and the pressure has mounted since the kidnappings.

Parents, who said they had little confidence in the military search effort, have scoured the bushlands of the remote region, pooling money to buy fuel for motorbikes and cars to conduct their own rescue effort.

Pogo Bitrus, leader of a Chibok elders group, told AFP that locals had received various tips concerning the whereabouts of the hostages, with some reports saying they had been taken across borders into Cameroon and Chad.......
