Around 220 girls were taken from their school in 2014 in Chibok in Borno state, north eastern Nigeria, where Boko Haram has waged a seven-year insurgency aimed at creating an Islamic state, killing thousands and displacing more than two million people. The 21 that were released on Thursday were reunited with their families in an emotional ceremony, and government informs that eighty three more could be released as soon as possible

News of the potential release of 83 more of the girls came yesterday as the twenty-one released last week were reunited with their families during a Christian ceremony held for them in the capital Abuja. A faction of the militant group released 21 of the girls on Thursday after the Red Cross and the Swiss government brokered a deal. They were brought from the north-eastern city of Maiduguri to the capital Abuja to meet state officials.

“The faction said it is ready to negotiate if the government is willing to sit down with them,” said Shehu, adding that the state is prepared to negotiate with the branch of Boko Haram.

In recent days, the Nigerian army has been carrying out an offensive in the Sambisa forest, a stronghold of Boko Haram. The Islamic State-allied splinter group said the rest of the kidnapped Chibok girls were with the part of Boko Haram under the control of figurehead Abubakar Shekau, according to Shehu.

A schoolgirl named Gloria Dame said the girls had survived for 40 days without food and narrowly escaped death at least once. “I was… [in] the woods when the plane dropped a bomb near me but I wasn’t hurt,” Dame told the congregation. Speaking in the local Hausa language, she added: “We had no food for one month and 10 days but we did not die. We thank God.”

“We can all see the joy and emotions of the parents,” Information Minister Lai Mohamed said. He added that talks with the Islamists would continue “until all the girls have been released”.

I thought the 21 "batch A" will do their passing out parade before the 83 prospective "batch C" will be mobilised.
