  1. 1. Why did the Nigerian government ignore these warnings?

    • Because the Nigerian government is lazy
      0
    • Because the Nigerian government is racist - a CNN breaking news report said all the kidnapped girls were black!
      0
    • Because the Nigerian government is fearful of Boko Haram.

    • Because the Nigerian government just doesn't give a damn about a bunch of kids.

Nigerian authorities failed to act on warnings about Boko Haram’s imminent raid on a boarding school where it abducted more than 240 girls last month, according to Amnesty international.

The London-based human rights group, after verifying the information with “credible sources,” said Nigerian security forces knew of the attack four hours before Boko Haram struck.

...

“It amounts to a gross dereliction of Nigeria’s duty to protect civilians, who remain sitting ducks for such attacks. The Nigerian leadership must now use all lawful means at their disposal to secure the girls’ safe release and ensure nothing like this can happen again.”

...

The human rights group says that two senior officials in Nigeria's armed forces have confirmed the military's being aware of the planned attack, including one who said an overextended commander was unable to mobilize reinforcements.

...

The Nigerian Embassy in Washington and the Nigerian U.N. Mission in New York City have not responded to ABC News' repeated requests for comment.

As for U.S. assistance, there are at least 26 U.S. officials specifically tasked to the Boko Haram kidnapping for the moment, according to the Defense and State Departments, including 18 military personnel, four State Department officials and three FBI officials, some of whom are in transit.

Why are we even sending anyone? It is not our fight.
