Report: Nigerian Troops Rescued 200 Girls And 93 Women Tuesday In The Sambisa Forest


CNN: Nigerian troops rescue 200 girls, 93 women, says military

(CNN)Nigerian troops rescued 200 girls and 93 women Tuesday in the Sambisa Forest, the Nigerian Armed Forces announced on its official Twitter account.

The armed forces could not immediately confirm if any of the rescued girls were among the 200 schoolgirls the militant group Boko Haram kidnapped in April 2014 from the northeastern Nigerian village of Chibok. That abduction led to a social media movement, #BringBackOurGirls, to rescue them.

WNU Editor: I would like to believe that this is true .... but the Nigerian military has a long history of embellishing the facts and/or distorting what is happening on the ground.
