The Nigerian government has brokered a deal with the Boko Haram rebels to release 200 school girls — some of whom were sold into slavery.
From The NY Post:
Under massive global pressure, the militant Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram has agreed to release more than 200 schoolgirls they kidnapped earlier this year, military officials announced Friday.
Nigerian officials announced that the insurgents agreed to a truce with government forces and will free the students after holding them in a remote forest since their abduction six months ago, according to reports.
Modal Trigger“We are inching closer to release of all groups in captivity, including the Chibok girls,” Omeri told the BBC.
“We are monitoring the news with huge expectations,” members of the Bring Back Our Girls campaign said in a tweet on Friday.
Nigerian officials said that the girls are in good condition and have not been physically harmed.
