Lost Children By: Emma Wall

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/13/world/nigeria-children-boko-haram/index.html

The article above discusses the many problems of children having to flee their homes due to uproar in their country.  One major issue that is the main conflict in Nigeria is Boko Haram.  The article states that over 800,000 kids have left home and are either stranded in Nigeria or have crossed the border of another country.  The topic has been brought up because it was the 1 year anniversary of the abduction of 200 Nigerian girls.

This is absolutely horrendous.  I couldn't possibly imagine being separated from my family.  Similarly, I could not imagine myself out in the world on my own at such a young age.  It is so sad to hear about the conflict going on in other countries.  It is also sad that there are parents grieving over losing their children.
