The
international campaign #BringBackOurGirls has had some impact on the Nigerian
government. The President is finally moving. For about three weeks – and this
bog has been one of the very first to call the attention to the terrible fate
the school girls kidnapped by the Boko Haram terrorists were in – the country´s
leadership tried to sweep the issue under the carpet. Now the outcry is too big
to be ignored.
But
a key question remains: how to explain the failure to protect these school
children and the many civilians in the North-Eastern part of the country that are
under constant threat? How can we understand this failure in a country that has
a large army, good special forces and good intelligence? Who is giving a chance
to Boko Haram to commit the horrendous crimes that are now their trademark? Who
are the political backers of the terrorists and why?
