Escaping Boko Haram

It's a terrible story (but will doubtless make a great television movie-of-the-week some day) and Allvoices has an article by Veronica S about it:

One of the schoolgirls who escaped from Boko Haram kidnappers when they stormed her boarding school on 14 April 2014 spoke to CNN correspondent Nima Elbagir, who traveled to the dangerous northeastern town of Chipok to talk with the girl.
Nigerian authorities say 276 girls were abducted in that raid, and that several people were killed in two explosions set off by the Islamic militants.
The girl, who asked that her identity, her family, or where she lived not be revealed, spoke of her experiences with fear in her eyes and voice. She revealed how she escaped and how despite being safe, is still terrified that the kidnappers could come back for her and her family. According to her account, gun-toting men swarmed the school and ordered all the girls to get into seven cargo trucks but after getting in, she jumped out and ran.
"We would rather go than die," the girl told CNN. "We ran into the bush. We ran and we ran." She says she is still terrified and couldn’t bring herself to describe what her kidnappers looked like when asked.
About fifty other girls had reportedly escaped, but more than two hundred remain missing and feared sold or married off to the members of the extremist militant group.
Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau has since released a video boasting of selling the girls into slavery. “I abducted your girls. There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell,” Shekau taunted about a week ago.
Several other girls were also reportedly taken after the 14 April 2014 abduction, and as many as three hundred people were killed in recent bloody attacks in the town of Gamboru Ngala, located on the border with Cameroon.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has come under heavy criticism from parents of the kidnapped girls for their slow response, and protesters have taken to daily marches through the streets of the Nigerian capital of Abuja. International outcry has gained momentum, with social media leading the charge. Even female lawmakers got involved, signing a petition sent to Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan beseeching help.
The US State Department has since sent an intelligence and hostage negotiations team to assist the Nigerian government in their search for the missing girls, and Secretary of State John Kerry called the mass abduction “unconscionable”.
British and French officials have joined in the rescue effort and are in Abuja strategizing ways to not only find the girls but subdue Boko Haram's influence in the region. 

Who and what is Boko Haram, and how did their influence rise to this level of unchecked violence? There are many conspiracy theories floating around about the militant group. It reportedly wants Nigeria to be a Muslim nation to be ruled by shari'a law. It thinks Western influence, including education, is evil.
Conspiracy number one is that Monsanto and billionaire Bill Gates are secretly funding the Islamist extremists because they want to control Africa’s farmers enough to be able to force them to convert to GMO farming.
Then there is the former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton angle. According to The Daily Beast, Clinton’s State Department refused to brand Boko Haram as a terrorist organization, even after it bombed a UN facility in 2011, and repeated requests came from the CIA, the FBI, and the Department of Justice for the terrorist label. Why was Clinton adamant that Boko Haram remain off the terrorist list for two years? Since the kidnapping gained international attention, Clinton has joined the outcry, tweeting on May 4: “Access to education is a basic right & an unconscionable reason to target innocent girls. We must stand up to terrorism.” The #bringbackourgirls tag was also added. But some are saying her hashtags do not absolve her of the responsibility of failing to do more about Boko Haram when she had the chance.
The violent group is now at the top of the terrorist list, alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan and al-Qaeda factions in Iraq and the Arabian Peninsula. Secretary of State John Kerry added Boko Haram to the list in 2013.

Rico says the SEAL solution for Abubakar Shekau, just like for Osama bin Laden, is still the best... (But Rico seriously doubts that Bill Gates cares about Monsanto's profitability.)
