Rescued Women Are Not Chibok Girls - CNN by Rilwayne001(op): 5:18pm On Apr 29, 2015

The Nigerian military confirmed that the 293 women
rescued from Boko Haram were not the girls
kidnapped from Chibok. CNN's Isha Sesay has the
details.

Hotoro, Kano, Nigeria (CNN)— Girls rescued from
Boko Haram terror camps in Sambisa Forest on
Tuesday are "not the Chibok girls," Nigerian Army
spokesman Sani Usman said.

However, one official did not rule out that captives
from other Boko Haram camps that were raided might
include some of the 200 girls abducted in April 2014
from a school in Chibok.

Nigerian troops rescued 200 girls and 93 women
Tuesday in the Sambisa Forest in the northeastern part
of the country, the Nigerian Armed Forces announced
on its official Twitter account. The forest is a
stronghold for the militant Boko Haram group and is
not far from Chibok.

Military spokesman Maj. Gen. Chris Olukolade said the
rescued girls and women are still being screened and
none has spoken to their families yet.

The 2014 mass abduction from Chibok led to an
international social media movement, #BringBackOurGirls, to rescue them. Boko Haram, a militant Islamist group, has been kidnapping females for years and has hundreds in their custody.

The Tokumbere, Sassa and Tlafa terror camps were
raided and destroyed, said a source close to the
military. The Tokumbere camp is the most notorious,
where the training of small children by Boko Haram is
said to have occurred, the source said. Boko Haram
terrorists were killed in the operation, but the military
did not say how many.

In recent weeks, Nigerian troops and vigilantes moved
into the Sambisa Forest. Last Wednesday the troops
had to retreat because of explosive devices Boko
Haram planted in the forest, according to military
sources and a vigilante who was with the troops.

On Monday, troops re-entered the forest and on
Tuesday afternoon they raided Boko Haram camps and
rescued scores of girls and women.

"We stumbled on the girls and may find more," Usman
said.

Information about the fate of the kidnapped
schoolgirls has been spotty and inconsistent, with
some school officials giving conflicting figures for the
number of girls who were abducted or escaped their
captors.

"We have no idea where the Chibok girls are or were,"
CNN correspondent Christian Purefoy said Tuesday.
The name Boko Haram translates to "Western
education is sin" in the local Hausa language. The
group has said its aim is to impose a stricter
enforcement of Sharia law across Nigeria, which is split
between a majority Muslim north and a mostly
Christian south.
