                          BRING OUR GIRLS HOME

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, we are approaching 
the 1-year anniversary of the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian 
girls by psychopaths who call themselves Boko Haram. Since their 
abduction, almost every week has brought fresh reports of outrages and 
slaughters by the terrorists, but only silence about the girls. There 
have been some unconfirmed reports that some of the girls have been 
taken across Nigeria's borders and that some have died of snakebites 
and illness.
  Recently, the Emir of Kano in Nigeria challenged every Muslim leader 
in the country to speak up and put an end to Boko Haram in their 
country. That is a good start. But let's also call on all of the 
leaders of Africa to unite, to rid their government and their continent 
of Boko Haram, and, as one, to do everything in their power to Bring 
Back Our Girls. Let's reunite them with their families. Let's end this 
horror. Let's Bring Back Our Girls.
