We are all aware of the girls who were abducted in april. Boko haram has finally made a deal with the nigerian government to free all the abducted girls
CNN) - The Nigerian government has reached a ceasefire agreement with the Islamist terror group Boko Haram that includes the release of more than 200 kidnapped schoolgirls, a Nigerian presidential spokesman said Friday.

The agreement was reached Thursday night after a month of negotiations with representatives of the group, said Hassan Tukur, principal secretary to Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan.

"We have agreed on the release of the Chibok schoolgirls, and we expect to conclude on that at our next meeting with the group's representative next week in Chad," Tukur said.


The agreement was first reported by Agence France-Presse.

The terrorist group abducted an estimated 276 girls in April from a boarding school in Chibok in northeastern Nigeria. Dozens escaped, but more than 200 are still missing.

Nigerian officials met with Boko Haram in Chad twice during talks mediated by Chadian President Idriss Deby, according to Tukur.

"The group has shown willingness to abide by the agreement which ‎it demonstrated with the release of the Chinese and Cameroonian hostages few days ago," Tukur said.

A source involved in the talks told CNN last month that Nigerian government officials and the International Committee of the Red Cross had discussions with Boko Haram about swapping imprisoned members of the group for the more than 200 Chibok schoolgirls. It's unclear, however, whether the deal includes a prisoner swap. http://edition.cnn.com/2014/10/17/world/africa/nigeria-boko-haram-ceasefire/index.html?c=intl-homepage-t
