The Government of Nigeria knows where the abducted girls are

The problem appears to be: "How do you get them out of there alive?" So, this is a hostage situation where likely a ransom of some sort would be needed by someone to even get the girls out alive before bringing Boko Haram to justice in Nigeria. So, the will is there to completely eliminate Boko Haram but they need to find a way to get the hostages out alive first. However, Boko Haram knows if they give up these girls without finding other hostages they are likely dead. So, this is a given too. Because the whole world has now declared war on Boko Haram. That is a given too.

   Official: Nigerian kidnapped girls located

   STORY HIGHLIGHTS

   • The official says the Nigerian military will not use force to try to rescue the girls
   • "We can't kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back," he reportedly says
   • More than 200 schoolgirls were abducted in northern Nigeria last month by Boko Haram

   (CNN) -- A top Nigerian military official believes he knows the whereabouts of girls kidnapped last month, but he says the nation's military will not use force to try to rescue them, a state news report said Monday.
   

   "We want our girls back. I can tell you that our military can and will do it, but where they are held, can we go there with force?" asked Air Chief Marshal Alex Badeh.

   "Nobody should say Nigerian military does not know what it is doing; we can't kill our girls in the name of trying to get them back."

   His comments were reported by the News Agency of Nigeria, a state-run news service.

   Badeh continued: "The good news for the parents of the girls is that we know where they are, but we cannot tell you.

   "We cannot come and tell you the military secret, just leave us alone, we are working to get the girls back," he reportedly said.

   In response to the news, Pentagon spokesman Adm. John Kirby told CNN U.S. officials were not able to confirm the report.

   More than 200 schoolgirls were kidnapped in northern Nigeria last month by Boko Haram, an act that drew international condemnation.

   The terror group abducted an estimated 276 girls on April 14 from a boarding school in Chibok. The Nigerian military suffered an embarrassing setback when it retracted a report that nearly all the kidnapped girls were released.

   Dozens escaped, but more than 200 girls are still missing.

   Nigerians and others have accused their government of not acting swiftly or efficiently enough to protect the girls seized in the dead of night.

   Boko Haram translates as "Western education is a sin" in the Hausa language. The militant group says its aim is to impose a stricter enforcement of Sharia law across Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation, which is split between a majority Muslim north and a mostly Christian south.

   Boko Haram's attacks have intensified in recent years.
