Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan acknowledges that his country’s effort to subdue Boko Haram have not produced the results it had promised to the nation. But he is hopeful that this will be the beginning of the end of this terror group.
“I believe the kidnap of these girls will be the beginning of the end for terror in Nigeria,” said Mr Jonathan at the World Economic Forum in Abuja.
The attack this week left 376 people dead and the mass abduction of 276 kidnapped girls a month ago have brought Nigeria to the fore.
Abubakar Shekau, the leader of Boko Haram has made matters worse by admitting that he plans to sell the girls.

This week the town of Gamboru Ngala, a state capital was attacked in which some victims were burned alive.
Countries including United States, France, Britain and China have promised help to Nigeria for finding the girls, as the world outrage over the plight of 276 girls has grown.
The US President Barack Obama said in statement, “Every day when I wake up and I think about young girls in Nigeria or children caught up in the conflict in Syria, when there are times in which I want to reach out and save those kids. And having to think through what levers, what powers do we have at any given moment, I think drop by drop by drop that we can erode and wear down these forces that are so destructive.”
