Enough is Enough Nigeria: Rescue our Daughters

#CitizensSolutionToEndTerrorism

On April 14, 2014 more than 234 schoolgirls were kidnapped from their boarding school in the dead of night at Chibok, Nigeria.


Updated information puts the kidnapped numbers at upwards to 276 children abducted.



Yahi Bwata, the uncle of one of the kidnapped schoolgirls' says, in this interview, that it took from 1 am in the morning until morning for the kidnappers to load up all the children into trucks and vans and that most of the kidnappers where in Nigerian army uniforms! This could explains why the US-supported Nigerian army has been useless in rescuing the children.



Also, updated news reports indicate that the Jihadis  are willing to consider the release of those "who have not already been trafficked abroad and sold into marriage."


In the April 30th statement I wrote for HLLN, I said:

"This is unbelievable. The outright ENSLAVEMENT of Black teenagers. Priceless innocence- ages 16 to 18 - kidnapped from boarding school, put up for sale as sex-slaves for $12 each? No words are big enough to express this terrible outrage. "-- Ezili Danto of HLLN, Bring Back Our Girls: Save the 234 kidnapped by Boko Haram.

All photos are brought to you by the Free Haiti Movement, taken at the rally to share with the HLLN/Ezili Network. The children are still missing and must be rescued. We thank everyone who read our call to action, commented, signed petitions, shared information, circulated this story or attended the New York rally  to raise awareness about the plight of these defenseless girls without a military to count on to rescue them. Suggestions are welcomed on what more we could collectively do. Also welcomed are comments on updates or further relevant information.



It seems the Nigerian army is mostly about protecting foreign oil interests and patriachical power plays. And that means keeping the status quo instability going so that the masses do not unite against the divide and conquer Western imperialist that services Nigeria's collaborating oligarchs/feudal lords. The world's people  have a responsibility to put aside power politics and do all that's in their power to help rescue these defenseless girls. The people at the New York rally stood up, on May 3rd, asking Nigeria to bring back our daughters. Shouldn't all the world's attention also be place on rescuing these girls?


There will be an "Enough Is Enough" 2014 rally to launch the National Campaign for the Elimination of Violence and Abuse of Women and Girls of African Descent on May 10, 2014, sponsored by the US Million Woman March, Save Our Daughters and the International African Women's Human Rights Project. The rally will be held on Saturday, May 10, 2014 from 10:30 a.m. -12:00 noon at Love Park located at 15th & JFK Blvd in  Philadelphia, PA.
