A hard lesson in hashtag activism. Yet another #ObamaFail



Here's a horrifying recap: The Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram kidnapped 276 schoolgirls in Chibok, Nigeria, on April 14, 2014. Some escaped, but 219 vanished, prompting the #BringBackOurGirls campaign that captured international attention and accomplished nothing. Since #BringBackOurGirls, Boko Haram has grown stronger. Thousands of innocent people are dead; millions have been displaced. At least 2,000 more women and girls have been kidnapped and likely sold into sex slavery. If they're alive, the Chibok girls are a symbol of Boko Haram's evil devastation. But it's unlikely we'll ever bring them back.
