Rescue operations in Nigeria and Cameroon free nearly 700 hostages, mostly women and children held by Islamic terror group Boko Haram for up to 10 years.
Introduction Ten years ago, on April 14, 2014, the jihad group Boko Haram, which operates in Nigeria, kidnapped 276 schoolgirls, most of them Christian (18 were Muslims)[1] and aged between 16 and 18 at that time, from their secondary school in the town of Chibok, Borno State, in the northeast of the country.
Hundreds of hostages, primarily women and children, have been freed by the Nigerian army from the grip of Boko Haram militants who held them captive in northeastern Nigeria for months or even years.
