“Stop pretending that you are a human being!” a victim of
sexual abuse tells her abuser. They might not exactly be able to utter such
words to their captors, but this is likely the thought that would be going
through the minds of hundreds of the students of Government Girls Secondary
School, Borno State, who were abducted by the Boko Haram insurgents since two
weeks [six months] now.
Perhaps, the only trauma that would make these innocent
girls even sadder in their captivity is the absence of news of any attempt at
their rescue. According to the parents of the abducted girls, so far, there had
been no known official effort at rescuing the girls, despite the enlarged
security meetings.
