Abandonment of ‘Bring Back Our Girls’

girls back 2World leaders from countries including the United States, United Kingdom, France, China, Canada and Israel offered assistance to Nigeria to free the schoolgirls, but to date no diplomatic or military action has secured their release.

“As far as our girls are concerned, they have been abandoned,” said Mkeki Mutah, an uncle of two of the missing – 17-year-old Saratu and 18-year-old Elizabeth.

“There is a saying: ‘Actions speak louder than words.’ Leaders from around the world came out and said they would assist to bring the girls back, but now we hear nothing. The question I wish to raise is: why?” Mutah told Al Jazeera.

“If they knew they would not do anything, they wouldn’t have even made that promise at all. By just coming out to tell the world, I see that as a political game, which it shouldn’t be so far as the girls are concerned.”
