Link of the day: The NY Times project about the released hostages "Boko Haram"
ONLINE "LINK OF THE DAY"We recommend materials from other publications on topics that deserve attention.
In September last year, more than a hundred girls found themselves on a neat campus: trimmed hedges, a three-story library and solar-powered buildings. Not all students were happy to see such a large group of women who have spent the last few years side by side with the militants. Some were afraid that Boko Haram would come back for them, especially considering their western standards of training, which the group so despised. Others feared that women were so attached to their invaders that they themselves had become terrorists. One of the students confessed that she was afraid to wake up one day in the middle of the night and find that one of her classmates had put a knife to her throat.
"Kidnapped as Schoolgirls by Boko Haram", The New York Times
Today we advise you to read The New York Times long-ranged story about freed Nigerian schoolgirls abducted in 2014 by the Boko Haram terrorist group. Now they are studying at a prestigious university, but from now on they are forbidden to leave the territory unaccompanied, to receive guests without prior approval, and also to live with their own children (some have given birth to a child in captivity) - according to university leaders, the children "distract students from their studies." “They will never again be who they were before the abduction,” said Saudi Mahdi, the secretary general of the human rights organization Women's Rights Advancement and Protection Alternative. “Now their life is tied to many prohibitions.”
