article - kidnapped nigerian schoolgirls by Boko haram



I remember that I searched for more articles about these nigerian girls because I  hoped to know more details or more any other facts.
I had already seen the article about them on korean news page , but it wasn't dealt with seriously and importantly that  I could hardly get detailed information.
However, I could find better news on BBC and sydney morning herald such like how nigerian government responsed , how boko haram has done things, and prospect on the crisis.
I had thought about how the girls will be rescued. I arranged some important facts that at least I think are important.
1.Boko haram which is an extreme terrorist group against western education suggested a negotiation that they trade the girls with their members who are in jail.
2.Boko haram kidnapped some people including girls, famlies. In some cases, The hostages were freed . but some people were killd by Boko haram.
3. Boko haram freed the hostages when they got pay from government (the example is France and Cameroon. Boko haram captured a french family. they insisted that they got pay from nigerian governmnet, but French government and Cameroonian government denied it.)
4. Nigerian government has accepted helps from US, China, UK, France, and Israel.
5. It will be difficult to find the all girls who were kidnapped because there will be some different cases like some escaping, being released ,and spending their whole lives in the captivity.
(I think I understood this part, but I'm not sure if I really did.)

Well, I have witten some things , but there were so much unclear things probably I coundn't understand not only because it was written with English but because I haven't had much interest about these kinds of crisis and I'm not good at seeing and understanding politic science.( I think this
case is politic things :)..........)
I wanted to find out  how the girls can be rescued as soon as possible because I really want them to be rescued ,go back to their home ,and educated again and more.
I failed to do it  and I couldn't get more information about the way the hostage who were captured before could be freed whether they were negotiatied or not. (even though I already mentioned one example about this problem, I think it isn't clear  ,and only limited to one case, and actually giving pay for their release isn't a realistic and ideal soultion if not necessary because government even hasn't counted the number of the girls!!.)
I think it will take much more time to solve and prevent these kinds of problems because it will repeat
even if this crisis is solved. In the process, some girls might die , and some girls might disappear ,and some girls might be sold as slave wives.
I don't know why some people have difficulty understading differnces and respecting others' basic desire.
I really hope that the girls will be released.

 Diary Today
May 9 friday 2014

I woke up around 11 am because of the thunder sound. I thought I must have been dreaming ,but
I realized that it was true that the scary loud thunder was real. My translation class is at 10am. 
I felt terrible not only because I was too tired but because I realized that I was late for the class again!
It was a disaster. I was already absent of the class perhaps four times and late once. I regretted again that I took the calss for this semester. anyway, I got up barely opening my eyes so that I could not be late for the another class. Fortunately, I arrived at school on time. The class is political science class and it is also kind of English class because the professor who teaches the class is an american and he speaks English during the time. So I need to concentrate on the class more than any other classes because it will be more difficult to understand some contents if I miss them.
After one hour, I felt very tired. Even though I strived to concentrate on what professor said, it was too hard to open my eyes. When I was almost about to fall asleep , I felt a shadow coming.
The shadow was professor! I screamed out in my mind, 'Oh no, forgive me ,sir. I'm not ready to answer your question.' . As I expected , He came to me and asked me what is needed if he asks me to make a smart phone when I have the material. I didn't know what professor explained about jsut before,and actually I don't know about political science so much that I was embarrassed. So I answered, 'People?, and he said, 'then Let's suppose that you are the people.'. I felt everybody watch me, so I asked myslef to be relax and answerd, 'Skill?'. He said, 'then I gave you the skill. cheeeeek!'. I didn't have good ideas. Finally, Professor answered the question and I blamed on my ignorance.
well, I don't care so much about what happend today ,but it is clear that I was a little bit depressed about these... After all, Tomorrow is another day!!!
I will forget being bit depressed and expect happier tomorrow.

the end.
