I'm worried about the future of Nigeria again.

So... you want the US to intervene and solve crimes that occur in other countries?

I'm sure that will be a popular decision.

No no no. I'm just amazed there hasn't been any international response is all. The entire class can be gangbanged to death (which seems plausible) for all I care.

I posted this thread because I'm astonished that something like this could still happen in the 3rd millennium and astonished at how little public outcry there's been about this. I didn't post it because I want something to be done about it or think that anything necessarily can be done about it.

QFT. That more heinous murder goes on everywhere all the time doesn't lessen the heinousness and sheer stupid of this. It's just wrong.

well the positive is, these girls got out of taking a physics exam

Always look on the bright side.

The problem is, this didn't happen in a country with white people. Or even brown or yellow. I think black is sort of the bottom of the totem pole. Or maybe it's just that Sub-Saharan Africa is intrinsically not newsworthy/exciting. After all, how long was that epidemic of war rape going on in the Congo? Actually, I'm not sure, it might still be happening for all I know.

Also, Obama should go on shirtless horseback rides. He'd look less silly than he does trying to Take Charge.

No one cares about Africa.

Sadly, Africa is Chinatown - so much heinous excrement goes down there that it's hard to keep track even if the news pays attention. It's not necessarily racial issues that hurt the will of an American media that doesn't cover much foreign news anyway to cover stuff like this.

But goodness, so shockingly stupid that anyone in the world is still walking around so backwards in their heads.

The involvement of the U.S. in the missing plane is not about the plane. It's about power. The involvement of the U.S. in Crimea/Ukraine is also about power. In order for the U.S. to be involved in what happened in Nigeria, there would have to be some real benefit to the U.S., that said you never know when a special forces unit will sweep in and save the day.
I hope the girls are alright but the reality of the situation is that countries and businesses usually only get involved in ish when they can find a benefit to themselves.

Wait, what Montreal Massacre?

Sadly Africa is resource-town. Allowing Africa to wallow in chaos and violence let's us reap its resources at bargain basement prices. Now if these rebels ever start attacking oil rigs, pipelines, refineries, loading platforms or tankers you'll see some action.

Update: http://www.theguardian.com/world/201...arriage-claims

They said there had been mass marriages and the girls are being shared out as wives among the Boko Haram militants.

Looks like I was right.

Does this mean if someone asks me for money for Nigeria, it may not be a scam?

In all seriousness though, this is absolutely horrible stuff. Interestingly enough Nigeria is participating in the 2014 World Cup this Summer. Wonder if they may be any protests while billions of people will be watching (esp when they play Argentina in their 1st round game).
