Discussion: Nigerian Defense Chief Says Abducted Girls Located

Discussion for article #223163

Soldiers have told The Associated Press that they are not properly paid, are dumped in dangerous bush with no supplies and that the Boko Haram extremists holding the girls are better equipped than they are. Some soldiers have said officers enriching themselves off the defense budget have no interest in halting the five-year-old uprising that has killed thousands.

Yeah, that’s the army I want to go after my kids! I’m wondering how long the military has known about their location, and if the delay in attempting a rescue is because the officers cannot be trusted and the soldiers are truly outgunned.
