In Nigeria’s northeastern states, Boko Haram’s Islamist jihadis first gained notoriety during the 2014 #BringBackOurGirls campaign. Radically anti-Christian and anti-Western, they carry out their own violent invasions, kidnappings, and beheadings. Today their best-known victim is Leah Sharibu, one of 110 young schoolgirls kidnapped in 2018 during an attack on an all-girl science and technical school. Leah was just 14 years old when abducted, and today she remains in captivity. Because she refused to renounce her Christian faith, Leah was not released with her classmates. Instead, she was enslaved.
