Michelle Obama ” outraged ” by the kidnapping of Nigerian girls

The United States first lady Michelle Obama on Saturday criticized the kidnapping of more than two hundred students in Nigeria by a terrorist group. Obama described the abduction as “an unreasonable act” by “grown men who want to turn the aspirations of these young people.”

“These girls Barack and I see our own children,” said the first lady, referring to Malia, 15, and Sasha, 12. “We see their hopes, their dreams, and we can imagine the anguish they are experiencing now without their parents.” Obama said both she and the president feel ” outraged and heartbroken ” by the incident.

This Saturday, coinciding with the celebration of Mother’s Day in America, the first lady gave her words to the event in Nigeria to emphasize the importance of girls’ education worldwide.

” What happened in Nigeria is not an isolated incident. It’s a story we see repeated every day as young people around the world risk their lives to fulfill their dreams, “said Obama. The first lady said in his speech that the school where the students were kidnapped in Chibok, near the border with Cameroon, had been closed earlier by threats, but the girls decided to return for his exams.

“They were so determined to move forward in their education, so decided to have their own careers and make their families and community feel proud of them,” they said. Obama added that he expects any young American taken for granted their education and that ” anyone who is slacking off or thinking of leaving school, learn the history of these girls and commit to their education.”

The U.S. Government has shown its support for the Nigerian executive, unable to free the kidnapped youth over a month by the organization Boko Haram ago. The Western education group qualifies as a “sin” and its leader, Abubakar Shekau, has claimed the abduction of girls and threatens to sell.

” Please know that Barack has asked our government to do everything possible to support the work of liberation of girls and they go home,” says the message of the first lady. His words are attached to the President, who has declared this week in an interview he would do everything possible to help Nigeria.
