Eighty-two Chibok girls have been freed after successful negotiations between Boko Haram and the Nigerian government, a government official close to the negotiations tells CNN. The source said the the freed Chibok girls are currently in military custody in Banki, in northeastern Nigeria. They will be transferred to the capital, Abuja, where they will undergo medical checks and be reunited with their families. A total of 276 girls were kidnapped from the village of Chibok in April 2014.
This is good news, and hopefully it means they can hunt these demons down and obliterate them from the face of the Earth. But it’s a good time to remember how little and worthless hashtag activism is – Michelle Obama and countless idiotic actors tweeted “Bring Back Our Girls.” Bombs and bullets do much more against terrorists than hashtags and tweets.
[And I love Twitter, full disclosure.]
