From Ambassador Robin Renee Sanders, BlogIt-rrs: The Africa Post (TAP) Wed Jul 2 2014, 14:33:00

Ambassador Robin Renee Sanders spoke to Al Jazeera America (AJA) recently on the continued unabated violence and kidnapping by Boko Haram on innocent girls and boys in the wide area of Nigeria it controls about the size of Georgia or Wisconsin.

Dr. Sanders underscored to AJA that it has never been only girls that BH has kidnapped that they have been recruiting and forcibly taking young boys into their ranks since before 2009.
