A Year After, No Word On 300 Children Abducted By Boko Haram From Damask



Apart from the abduction of 276 Chibok School girls nearly two years ago, the Human Rights Watch (HRW) asserts that ‘’about 400 women and children, including at least 300 elementary school students were also abducted by Boko Haram from the town of Damasak in Borno State between March 13 and 15, 2015’’. HRW recounts that the Damasak abduction is the largest documented school abduction by Boko Haram militants even though it drew less public attention and outrage than that of the Chibok girls in April 2014.
