Last week I wrote about the large number of Nigerian girls who were kidnapped from there school by militants.  This week the girls have still not been rescued but a small group of girls some how escaped the Boko Haram. These girls saw a chance to flee when all of the girls were being changed into cargo trucks.  These girls were interviewed.  The girls said they were threatening to sell them and they were extremely shaken up during the interview.  During the night of the kidnapping, when the attack started the whole village including the police fled and hit to save themselves.  Nobody stood up for these girls who were asleep in there dorms.  This really disturbs me, that no one there can feel safe.  Its extremely anarchical.  People get scared of cities here because of what could happen. I couldn't even imagine living there, knowing the police are afraid to protect people.
