Harlow! So today I came across a very serious newspaper article. It was about  over 200 female students who have been kidnapped by a notorious group called Boko Haram. This happened in a small village called Chibok in Nigeria. Over 200 teenage students have been captured from a Chibok government girls secondary school. They destroyed the classrooms and marched the girls into lorries and drove off. The village is no in a state of panic and many people around the world are tweeting #bringbackourgirls.
The village's government is not taking action fast enough so many of the villagers are going on expeditions to search for the girls. They have established a curfew where no one can drive after 6 p.m.. So far, the searches have been fruitless. I believe that after this incident, poeple will be even more reluctant to bring their girls to school. It will set gender equality back a few decades, discouraging women to have an education. The picture below is one of the kidnapped who was going to graduate from the school. Lets pray for the girls.http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/may/15/chibok-nigeria-200-kidnapped-schoolgirls-boko-haram
