As the Boko Haram terrorist organization rules the Central African villages, with each kidnapping they are gaining strength. In late May of 2014 the Boko Haram committed its most intense kidnapping. They raided a school in midday and took almost 200 girls. To this day no one has a clue where these girls are or what they are experiencing.

             On Monday the 19^th the leader of this terrorist group released a shocking video of what his future plans were with the kidnapped girls. While in a full army suit and an Ak-47 by his side he reads into the camera, “I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market; by Allah There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell. I will sell women. I sell women.” While watching this video in complete confussion, I realized that the man behind the video is laughing casually while telling his plans of selling off young women.

            The Boko Haram name means "Western education is sin." In his nearly hourlong, rambling video, Shekau repeatedly called for Western education to end. In recent years, Boko Haram has carried out dozens of attacks, killing thousands of people at schools, churches, police stations, government buildings and elsewhere. These are some of the major attempts to stop education. Boko Haram has gained training in weapons and communications from al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula in recent years. This helped it move from little-noticed attacks to more spectacular ones, including against Western targets and the Nigerian government, which it seeks to overthrow.
