Nigerians are starting to cast clouds of doubt over the anticipated release of the Chibok girls kidnapped by the islamist Boko Haram group as the terrorists unleashed violence hours after the Nigerian government announced that it had reached a truce with them. Reuters reports.
Excerpt:
A wave of violence hours after Nigeria's government announced a truce with Boko Haram raised doubt on Sunday about whether more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by the Islamist militants will really be released, deflating the new hopes of their parents.
But Boko Haram has not confirmed the truce and there have been at least five attacks since - blamed by security sources on the insurgents - that have killed dozens. Talks were scheduled to continue in neighbouring Chad on Monday.
"We were jubilating. We had every reason to be happy ... but since then the ceasefire has been broken in quite a number of places already," Lawan Abana, a parent of the one of the missing girls, told Reuters by telephone.
