BRING BACK OUR GIRLS
(Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute.)
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, Boko Haram, with the help of
ISIS, has made a dangerous comeback. Just yesterday, Boko Haram
attacked again, using a suicide bomber to kill 20 more people.
In his inauguration speech last Friday, President Buhari vowed to
defeat Boko Haram. I hope and pray that President Buhari remains
committed to this vow because we here in Congress will certainly remain
committed to holding him accountable.
Mr. Speaker, we will continue to wear red in solidarity with the
thousands affected by the evils of Boko Haram. We will continue to
tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls.
Listen to these headlines: ``Kidnapped Nigerian Girls Likely Being
Used by Boko Haram as Suicide Bombers''; ``U.S. Signals Willingness to
Widen the Role in Fighting Boko Haram in Nigeria''; ``Boko Haram and
ISIS Are the Worst Sexual Abusers''; ``How Boko Haram Is Turning
Children into Weapons''; ``With Help from ISIS, a More Deadly Boko
Haram Makes a Comeback''; ``Nigerian Girls Kidnapped by Boko Haram May
Be Held in Underground Bunkers''; ``Boko Haram Militants Raped Hundreds
of Female Captives in Nigeria.''
Continue to tweet. Tweet #bringbackourgirls.
