Sixty more women and girls reported kidnapped in Nigeria
Guardian UK ^ | 23 October 2014 | David Smith, Africa correspondent

Doubts grow about government ‘truce’ with Boko Haram after dozens are reportedly abducted and bombing kills five people ___ Sixty women and girls have been kidnapped from two towns in north-east Nigeria, according to reports, dealing a fresh blow to government claims of a truce with the Islamist militant group Boko Haram.

Residents of the town of Wagga told Agence France-Presse that suspected Islamist gunmen had gone door-to-door looking for young women and girls and abducted 40 of them.

Lazarus Baushe, an elder of the Wagga community, said: “They left 1,500 naira (£5.67) and some kola nuts in each home where they seized a woman, apparently as a bride price.”

Wagga is close to the town of Chibok, where nearly 300 girls were kidnapped by Boko Haram in April, triggering worldwide outrage and online activism. Some 219 are still missing.

Enoch Mark, a priest from Chibok who previously worked in Wagga, told AFP that an estimated 40 women and girls had been taken in the recent raid, an account supported by several others.

Witnesses in Gwarta separately reported a kidnapping at the weekend involving another 20 female victims, but details were not immediately clear.

All Israel’s fault. According to Kerry.

All Israel, all the time.

No matter what malicious, sadistic savage animalistic heathen paganistic ritual the muzzie pigs engage in, it’s all Israel’s doing.

Pretty frickin convenient for the sadistic malicious muzzie pigs.

Pay no attention to this. The REAL danger to girls and women is right here in the USA, spearheaded by those evil straight, white, Christian men...

Are there no police to defend their girls? No national guard, no nothing? Yet, when America offered to help find and rescue the girls last May, the Nigerian President said, No Thank you. We’ve got this, we know what wer’e doing. Really? I’m beginning to wonder if this Nigerian President may be recieving payoffs to look the other way.

Has the Worst Lady, mooch-elle, hash-tagged as yet? I remember how effective that was the first time.
