Two years ago, terrorist group Boko Haram, kidnapped female students in Nigeria. American and African troops were sent to Cameroon to fight the soldiers but were put on hold in fear of risking more lives. Now, the 276 missing girls have been located. They're located in the Sambisa Forest. The girl's were abducted while at the Government Girls Secondary School of Nigeria.Many of the girls that are captured by Boko Haram are either forced into unwanted marriages, sexual assault, or sometimes death. Now, U.S. officials are claiming that the girls have not been forgotten and are working on getting them safely home. Hopefully the girls are all retrieved safely. This has been an ongoing struggle but hopefully it doesn't have to last any longer.
