Boko Haram's Kidnapping of 200 Nigerian School Girls

On 16th  April, 2014, Boko Haram kidnapped over 200 school girls in norhern Nigeria. Boko Haram is a militant Islamist group, which has caused havoc in Nigeria, Africa's most populous country through a wave of bombings, assassinations and now abductions. They are fighting to overthrow the government and create an Islamic state. Boko Haram promotes a version of Islam which makes it "haram", or forbidden, for Muslims to take part in any political or social activity associated with Western society. Boko Haram's aim is to impose a stricter enforcement of Sharia law across Africa's most populous nation, which is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south.
