Fight back

Nigerian military has rescued 93 women and 200 girls from Boko Haram. In addition to girls taken from that boarding school a year ago ("bring back our girls"), the Islamist group has steadily been kidnapping females.

What does Boko Haram do with them? As most of the world has come to expect, they're forced into slavery for sex and for combat.

Last year the Nigerian military seemed powerless to stop the attacks. So what has changed to result in this big successful rescue? Neighboring countries of Chad and Cameroon have helped.
