The chaotic abduction of the Chibok girls

# BRINGBACK OUR GIRLS#

On the 14^th of April 2014, gunmen suspected to be members of terror movement Boko Haram abducted about 270 girls from an all-girls government secondary school in a town called Chibok in northeast Nigeria. This Islamic Jihadist and terrorist organization based in northeast Nigeria is opposed to the westernization of Nigeria, which they maintain is the root cause of criminal behavior in the country. Thousands of people have been killed in attacks perpetrated by the group, and the Nigerian federal government declared a state of emergency in May 2013 in Borno State in its fight against the insurgency.

This Islamic Jihadist and terrorist organization has been causing a lot of chaos in Nigeria, they started with the bombing a lot of catholic churches every Sunday morning putting fear in all Christians especially the Catholics. In order to fight against this attack, security measures were taking every Sunday morning before mass.

Since 2010, Boko Haram has targeted schools, killing hundreds of student. One of the consequences of Boko Haram attack on school children especially the girls is lack of interest in continuing their education because of fear of being kidnapped or in worst scenario killed.

One of the country that is experiencing this particular stressor is Pakistan, we all had about the story of Malala Yousafzai  the Pakistani  school girl that was attack on her way back from school with her school mates in the country’s northwestern swat valley. From the interviews carried out by various news networks, to hear from these victims about their experiences, you can tell that most of them are still traumatized by what they went through.
