Freed Chibok girls reunited with their families for Christmas

More than 20 Nigerian "Chibok girls" who were released by the Islamist group Boko Haram in October have rejoined their families for Christmas.

It is the girls' first return home since they were kidnapped from their school in Chibok in April 2014.

The young women were freed in October after Switzerland and the International Red Cross made a deal with Boko Haram.

Since then, the 21 girls have been held in a secret location for debriefing by the Nigerian government.

Some released.

Reason for some optimism about the decline of Boko Haram. But you know, they aren't totally crushed or if they are, Nigeria certainly has other kinds of problems, not as serious but still requiring a lot of attention.

Yea for their release. The region is still, imho, in great need of  prayer and much improvement. Sigh.

Unfortunately also they had to negotiate with terrorist by releasing some of their commanders to get the release of these girls.  Still thank God for their release.
