Nigeria Rescues 300 Girls, Women From Boko Haram

Nigeria's army says it has rescued 200 girls and 93 women from Boko Haram, reports CNN. In a sign of just how widespread this kind of kidnapping is, however, those rescued do not include the approximately 200 girls taken from a school last year—the ones who drew worldwide attention in the #BringBackOurGirls campaign. "They are not the Chibok girls," a military spokesman tells AP. The military is interviewing the rescuees now to determine where they're from. The original news came via a tweet from the Nigerian military announcing that troops rescued the girls and women from the Sambisi Forest.
