Rejoicing with rescued girl. FGN must rescue all other captives



In yesterday's post I was joyful about the rescue of one of our #ChibokGirls. Today, the news is that she is not one of the 113 still in captivity: Nigeria's Chibok girls: Schoolgirl 'not one of 276'






Nonetheless, we rejoice with her family. She's one of thousands in captivity even though she's not one of our 113 #ChibokGirls. They all must be rescued. 

The BBC gives an excellent account of how the situation has unfolded thus far:

The fate of the Chibok girls

The Federal Government of Nigeria under the Muhammad Buhari administration is to be commended for continued efforts to rescue and negotiate the release of our #ChibokGirls and all abducted Nigerians. However, we urge the redoubling of efforts to rescue them all, and to bring peace and security to the Northeast where there are millions of people facing humanitarian crisis.  None of us is secure if some of us are insecure.
