Hillary Clinton must be up late considering the 200 Nigerian school girls that were kidnapped by the Islamist extremest group, Boko Haram, whom Hillary herself, fought to keep off the State Departments Official terrorist organization list. Following the kidnapping, Hillary threw her support for the effort to rescue the girls behind Social Media, tweeting the still trending hashtag #BringBackOurGirl. I must say, I appreciate her efforts to maintain awareness,however can this social awareness carry over into action from our government to rescue these young girls from slavery?
Back in 2011, Boko Haram bombed the UN headquarters in Abuja.
Repeat request where made by the FBI, CIA and the Justice Department to include the al Qaeda-linked group on the Terrorist organization roster, but the request where refused by Hillary Clinton who was serving as Secretary of State at the time. It was not until 2013 that the group was added to the roster by present Secretary of State John Kerry. Although this was a positive step forward, one must ask what we are doing now to bring back the girls who's live are up for auction?
