This is an anniversary no one, no one would want.
It has been a year since the girls in Chibok, Nigeria were kidnapped by Boko Haram. As we know a brave and fortunate small group of them escaped almost immediately. But there are still over 200 girls who are lost to their families. Whose whereabouts we don't know. Along with so many others.
Although I am not a big fan of military action, I was pleased to see that a coalition that included Nigeria, Chad, Niger and Cameroon worked together to take back some of the ground seized by Boko Haram. So far, however, they have not located the girls. And while the newly elected President has promised to do whatever they can to find them, he was careful not to promise to bring them home.
But I continue to hope. I continue to remember. Facebook link to the Bring Back Our Girls page below the fold if you want to follow it. And there is a link to an Amnesty International article with a link to take action (please be warned, this article is quite disturbing). Home, we all want them home.
