White House petition:
"work with the UN and the Nigerian government to bring home the girls kidnapped by Boko Haram."

Thanks to the support of media celebrities like Lauren Laverne, the Twitter channel @BringGirlsBack has been flooded with hundreds of new followers.

The level of outrage is reaching record heights. What we need to do now is channel this outrage into meaningful action that will make an actual difference in the lives of the poor abducted girls.

Twitter is filtering the tweets that I post from my @BringGirlsBack account. My tweets never appear in the #BringBackOurGirls complete timeline. Thus, the channel dedicated to getting organized to free the 200 abducted schoolgirls would be almost completely invisible... if it were not for a small group of dedicated followers.

The list below is woefully incomplete. We need your help to edit this page and complete it!

This wiki page is only a stub. It needs to be developed and expanded in order to address underlying issues and study a long term solution. Your help is welcome.

The schoolgirl kidnapping is only one criminal event among a long series of violent attacks. While we need to do our best to bring the schoolgirls back, we also need to make sure that the underlying issues are addressed.

We need to properly analyse the systemic issues, explain and list them here. Then we need to put pressure on key people to make sure those issues are addressed.
