Bring Back Our Girls

  It is so easy to completely ignore the atrocities that occur in the other parts of the world when they have nothing to do with us. I am absolutely appalled and horrified by all that is going on in my home country, Nigeria with Bokom Haram. We have a responsibility as human beings to speak out against injustice. If we don't speak out for others, who will speak for us in our times of need? A poem by Martin Niemöller comes to mind:

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
