Well how come China not doing something ?
In 2010, long before the mass killing that now engulf Nigeria began, there was a masked man hoisting an AK-47, a stack of religious books and a promise. His named was Abubakar Shekau, the leader of the Islamic group Boko Haram, and in the 25-minute video clip, he promised to annihilate all traces of Western culture and education in Africa’s most populous nation.
It would start with a prison break. Two months after the video’s release, dozens of armed militants belonging to the group stormed a prison and freed 150 Boko Haram members, and 700 more inmates. Then on Christmas Eve, the group unleashed a flurry of bomb attacks in Nigeria that killed 38 Christians worshiping at church or shopping for gifts. “We will continue with our attacks on disbelievers and their allies and all those who help them,” the group said.
As the months and years passed, the number killed by Boko Haram rose inexorably.
May 2011: two bombs, 15 killed.
August 2011: suicide bombing, 21 dead.
January 2012: church bombings, 185 dead.
The killings, which reflect sectarian tension between Christians and Muslims in the country, soon climbed to unfathomable levels. In the past four years, according to estimates in journalistic and Amnesty International reports, Boko Haram has killed at least 2,300 people. In the first four months of this year alone, Amnesty International says 1,500 people have died in ethnic violence.
Many of the killings have been indiscriminate and brutal.
But now, Nigerian authorities contend Boko Haram, which is today recognized as one of the most murderous terrorist groups in the world, has likely conducted one of its most chilling acts of terror yet. On April 16, in the middle of the night in northeast Nigeria, dozens of armed men who answered to the name Boko Haram captured 234 girls sleeping in dormitories at Chibok school and disappeared in the dark. In the two weeks since, despite parents’ searches deep in remote forests, there has been no sign of the girls.

The fact that the girls were in school speaks to the motive. The terror group, which has not claimed responsibility for the abductions, has roots in an anti-education ideology. Its disdain for an education model left behind by Britain is manifested both in the translation of the group’s name — “Western education is sinful” — and its terror attacks.
The group rose out of the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States. A 30-year-old man named Muhammad Yusuf, who blamed British pedagogy for all the country’s problems, founded the group that would become Boko Haram in northern Nigeria. According to Mathieu Guidere, a professor of Islamic studies at the University of Toulouse, the young leader introduced a Taliban-inspired model of teaching that rejected Darwin, among other thinkers, in favor of so-called Koranic sciences. The schools lured the unemployed, the impoverished, the students who had flunked out of government universities.
Preaching the necessity of Sharia law, the group grew in number and ferocity after Yusuf’s death in 2009. Killed while reportedly cuffed and in police custody, the unusual circumstances of his demise further radicalized the group. His “death was surrounded in mystery,” wrote academic Ahmad Murtada. ”…Who was responsible for his death and why?”
One year later, after the masked Abubakar Shekau delivered his impassioned screed, the group renewed its purpose of attacking “sinful education.” In July 2013, 29 students were burned alive at a school in northern Nigeria. Days later, Shekau said, ”Teachers who teach western education? We will kill them! We will kill them in front of their students, and tell students to henceforth study the Qur’an.”
Boko Haram massacred 40 more students two months later. In February of this year, 59 boys attending boarding school were shot dead, and their school razed.
With such a brutal precedent, parents of the missing Nigerian schools have succumbed to panic. Underscoring just how powerless the government has been to save the children, the parents themselves have taken motorcycles deep into remote forests in search of their daughters. “We met some men in the bush; they told us the Boko Haram camp is still inside and far,” one parent told Reuters. ”They said we may not come out alive.”
It has ignited a social media campaign on Twitter under the hashtags #BringBackOurGirls and #BringBackOurDaughters — but to parents, this is far from enough. ”All we want from the government is to help us bring our children back,” one father named Pogu Yaga, wept.

grab that oil.....
and from that stand point
go on a land grab for resources.
because you KNOW once they go in
they AINT never leaving...
It's strange because boko harams main statement seems to be "get the west out". Which is what most people seem to be saying- until some shit like this happens then it's all "where's the west?!"
This. Make it rain!
Get rid of islam/muslims in Africa, and you get rid of 80% of Africa's problems.
And a large number of Africans who aren't radicals.
Genocide is a bad solutions to any problem...

DID U LIKE THE SUIT THO'?
Fact is that the US Military (along with some EU forces) has been in Nigeria training that country's forces for well over a decade. Hell. Maybe even longer.
And I know people don't want to hear this...
But don't be surprise if some of those girls are going to be used as prostitutes for those soldiers.
Over 200 girls kidnapped.
Military Men stationed abroad in Africa
Do The Math.

U.s goes in "of course it's only about the oil (which western corporations mostly control anyway) they don't give a fuck about black Africans."
U.s. doesn't go in "of course they're not going there, they don't give a fuck about black Africans."
thats the turht. Thats why in general, I'm all for NON INTERVENTION ANYWHERE .
Who do you blame for the lack of action?

Okay, I was coming in here to ask "Aren't we already in Nigeria?"
What's the point of having a U.N.?
With the recent reports of more kidnapping and the ones previous, the thing the US can do immediately is aid Nigeria with finances and technology in searching. Long term, we should help them develop better security around their schools to prevent this from happening again.
The US offered help quite awhile ago and has been waiting for Nigeria to accept.
I mean heaven forbid the US just do it without permission so we could hear about the US invading.
Nigeria just agreed to accept the offer of assistance.
