Photo: AFP PHOTO/STRINGERSTR/Getty Images A Twitter hashtag, #BringBackOurGirls, has forced the world to pay attention to a terrorist group and conflict that have been threatening the stability of northern Nigeria for some time.

The wild west couldn’t be tamed without mothers. At least according to Ronald Reagan. In his radio address to the nation on Mother’s Day in 1983, he told Americans: “[The] Wild West could never have been tamed, the vast prairies never plowed, nor God and learning brought to the corners of our continent without the […]
During Hillary Clinton’s tenure, the State Department failed to designate Boko Haram a terrorist organization, in spite of the fact that Boko Haram had become second only to the Taliban as the deadliest terrorist organization.
