The BBC World Service has given this story a lot of coverage. I haven't seen much in the rest of the world's media.

You are right Neilmpenny...No ONE has been on this story. If this happened in Washington DC, London, Rio, Etc...it would be the lead story. We really need to get our priorities straightened out. Sadly the consensus is that they are probably in a mass grave somewhere...Reported by Vice

I heard they got sold off as brides to the rebels who kidnapped them. Twelve bucks a piece so I hear.

This turns my stomach! I can't believe the government is doing anything about this, and that the media doesn't seem to care. I read that about 50 of the girls escaped and a few have died. Here's another article on it. http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/n...ria-boko-haram

Finally on the nightly national news. About time, a little late I think.

Those poor girls, makes me sick.

It was on my AOL news when I checked my email today. Horrible.

They are in the North East part of the country and nobody from the government goes there as they are trying to get their own islamic state / country. Outsiders who go there have a tendency to disappear.

one of the lead stories on GMA this morning.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The White House says a U.S. team will head to Nigeria as soon as possible to aid in the search for nearly 300 teenage girls abducted from their school more than three weeks ago.

Gee, do suppose we would send in the US Navy SEALS if Nigeria invited us to?

[navallint]

They will need more than one team

Perhaps they'll find that wretched plane there as well...
This group murdered 50 students at a boys' school, so they're an equal-non-opportunity group against "western education." The deal is, if they're not already dead, the poor girls have surely been raped by their new "husbands" and some may already be pregnant... So even if by some miracle they escape, are rescued, or released, they probably will not be welcome back home, no matter how much their families
are protesting right now.
Thus, their captors win either way.

That's true. also remember the rest of the World media didn't say anything
for like 3 weeks later.

Wonder if the school girls were from Europe would we hear the news any faster?
