BringBackOurGirls gives Buhari 3 options to rescue Chibok girls

The #BringBackOurGirls Movement has given President Muhammad Buhari’s government three options to rescue the 218 girls kidnapped from a secondary school in Chibok, Borno State on April 14, 2014.

The group listed the three options as: use of military force; negotiations; or a combination of the two.
The options were contained in a letter to the president, on the heels of the opening of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, United States of America, where the president and other Nigerian officials are in attendance.

“Time is running out. Excuses are running out. The time to act is now!,” the group demanded.
In a press statement on Wednesday, global activists affiliated with the #BringBackOurGirls movement urged the president to rescue the missing Chibok girls who were kidnapped by Boko Haram in April 2014.
“In light of the April 14, 2016 ‘proof of life’ video released by CNN, the May 2016 escape of Amina Ali and the most recent August 2016 ‘plea for rescue’ video released by Boko Haram, we believe there is more than sufficient credible evidence and intelligence to substantiate an immediate rescue effort of the Chibok Girls and thousands of others that remain in Boko Haram captivity.”

In their letter to the president, the activists lauded the Nigerian military, the Multi-National Joint Task Force (MNJTF) and the Civilian Joint Task Force for the progress made in the fight against Boko Haram, but lamented that this progress has fallen short of rescuing the Chibok girls.
The group emphasised that as of Wednesday, September 14, it was exactly two years and five months since the girls’ abduction while 218 still remain in captivity.
The activists pointed out that during his 2015 campaign for the presidency, Buhari had assured Nigerians that he “would not rest until all the girls are rescued alive and reunited with their families,” and insisted that his government would not claim to have defeated Boko Haram without first rescuing the Chibok girls and others held captive. Regardless, the president declared in December 2015 that Boko Haram had been “technically defeated.”
