Has there been any news on the missing Nigerian schoolgirls?

I've been checking various sources every day but have heard/read nothing.

Sorry to say I am not surprised. Just like the rash of shootings here in the U.S., the media only seems interested until the next atrocity can grab the headlines.

I've been checking for any news on the girls every day and there's nothing, nada, zip. It's as if their kidnapping had never happened!

The kidnappings continue and so does the incompetence of the Nigerian government. But the whole subject seems to have dropped off the map!

these are just women and girls and who gives a f*ck? I mean after all, baby girls are aborted in favor of males in India and China. The hunting, rape and murder of women in the Sudan are weekend sports. Rape has now been declared a "favored status" here in the states and we are considered civilized. This is another uphill battle.
