Boko Haram Video Is Said to Show Captured Girls From Chibok
"They realized that Western education, its rules and regulations
that you taught them, is bad." Boko Haram, which translates as "Western education is forbidden," has criticized secular education since the early years of the movement, which has also incorporated a harsh interpretation of Islam as well as public anxieties and outrage at government corruption and societal inequality in northern Nigeria.
About a dozen girls, some with faces covered, appear in the video, one of several released in recent days by Boko Haram, the Islamist group terrorizing northern Nigeria in a war
that has spilled across borders and raged for nearly nine years.
