Tony Iltis More than 270 female secondary students were kidnapped on April 14 as they sat matriculation exams in the north-east Nigerian town of Chibok. The kidnappers were members of a religious cult that calls itself *Jama‘at Ahl as-Sunnah lid-da‘wa wal-Jihad* — Arabic for Congregation of the People of Tradition for Proselytism and Jihad. The group is more commonly known by its Hausa nickname, *Boko Haram*, which translate — very loosely — as “Western education is filthy”, although this is not a name that the group itself uses. For the next fortnight the kidnapping was largely ignored by the global media and the Nigerian state. https://www.greenleft.org.au/node/56415 -- “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is humanity’s original virtue.
