Hundreds of Women and Children Kidnapped By Islamic Extremists in Nigeria

Meanwhile in Nigeria ... Muslim extremists have kidnapped hundreds of women and children. I remember something like this happening 10 years ago. Michelle Obama made a plea for the return of the hundreds of school girls who were kidnapped read here Some escaped, but the majority of the women and children were kept and there were forced 'conversions' to Islam. The Muslims said they didn't like the girls going to school so they kidnapped them. In THIS case, the people were out gathering firewood and were just carrying on with normal life. Adult women were taken along with the children.


Hundreds of Women and Children Kidnapped By Islamic Extremists in Nigeria

Hundreds of women and children have been taken hostage by Islamic extremists in two separate mass kidnapping events in Nigeria this past week. Their fate remains unknown. About 300 children between the ages of 5-15 are among those captured by Boko Haram or other Islamic terrorists.

Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has called for the rescue of the women and children and has ordered his authorities to commence rescue operations. However, the success of such an operation remains in doubt. The first kidnapping we know few details about. There were around 200 women out collecting firewood when they were all rounded up by a group of terrorists.

While it is likely that the abductions were carried out by Boko Haram, there is another mostly peaceful Islamic group who are rivals to Boko and they are called the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) and its possible they may be behind the kidnappings. Regardless, Islamic rebels are terrorizing, kidnapping, killing, enslaving, and perpetrating violence against the people of Nigeria.

DAKAR, Senegal — Nigeria has been rocked by two mass kidnappings in the past week, with the United Nations, government officials and local residents saying that hundreds of women and children were abducted in two separate incidents.

Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu condemned the abductions Friday and directed security and intelligence agencies to immediately rescue the victims, whom he called “very vulnerable” internally displaced people and students.

The United Nations, residents and local officials said that about 200 people, many of them women out collecting firewood, were kidnapped March 1 in Borno State, where residents have long been terrorized by Boko Haram, an Islamist extremist movement.

"While collecting firewood" comment doesn't sound like a vacation to me. "What you talking about Willis?"

I think FITO was giving some background info with the schoolgirl kidnapping.

This time 200 women collecting firewood.

Is it me or does that sound odd?
