Nigeria: Why the abduction of 100 school girls isn't shocking By Kiyanna Elliott

The heavily armed militants from Boko Haram stormed the girl's dormitory of Government Girls Secondary School in the middle of the night, taking more than 100 students on to vehicles and burning down buildings  nearby as they made their escape. That was a week ago Monday. Of the 129 students kidnapped from, 77 are still missing. No one knows where they are. And surprising still, no one's particularly shocked. Such is life in the lawless Borno province.

This is kind of depressing to know that this is happening all the time and no one is surprised.  The Nigerian government and military aren't really helping to much either. Both sides are equally in the wrong and there just seems to be nothing really happening to change this.
