Four countries – the United States, United Kingdom, China, and France – have offered help to trace and rescue more 200 schoolgirls who were abducted 3 weeks ago by Islamist militants. The terror group Boko Haram, which condemns Western education, has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of the girls, and announced in a video that it was selling off the girls or taking them as brides. The US and France are sending specialist search teams to Nigeria, while London has agreed to deploy “satellite imaging capabilities.” China promised to supply “any useful information acquired by its satellites and intelligence services” to Nigeria. Since then, Boko Haram elements have attacked another town, razing scores of buildings and killing around 300 civilians, taking advantage of the absence of soldiers, who had been deployed to search for the kidnapped girls.
