293 Rescued In Nigeria Are Not 'Chibok Girls' (Read)

                     So the Nigerian troops rescued almost 300 girls and women during an offensive Tuesday against Boko Haram terrorists in the northeastern Sambisa Forest, the military said. 
                   They did not include any of the schoolgirls kidnapped a year ago.

The army announced the rescue on Twitter and said it was screening and interviewing the abducted girls and women.
Troops destroyed and cleared four terrorist camps and rescued 200 abducted girls and 93 women “but they are not the Chibok girls,” said army spokesman Col. Sani Usman.

Nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped from Chibok by Boko Haram in April 2014.

The plight of the schoolgirls, who have become known as “the Chibok girls,” aroused international outrage and a campaign for their release under the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.

Boko Haram has kidnapped an unknown number of girls, women and young men to be used as sex slaves, fighters and suicide bombers, sending them into market places and elsewhere.

Many have escaped or been released as Boko Haram has fled a multinational offensive.
