                               BOKO HARAM

  (Ms. WILSON of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow is Wear Something Red 
Wednesday to bring back our girls.
  Boko Haram is burning children alive. This heartbreaking and, yes, 
unsettling picture is of Sani, a victim of Boko Haram's terror.
  Sani's home was destroyed when Boko Haram set his village on fire, 
killing his parents. The rest of Sani's family survived only to be 
viciously gunned down in front of him. Sani represents the millions of 
children and women who are being raped, kidnapped, mutilated, and 
killed by the world's deadliest terrorist organization, Boko Haram. If 
you are not outraged, then you are not paying attention.
  Africans killing Africans: the world has ignored this unparalleled 
level of violence.
  I pray that our country and this Congress awaken to these 
unquestionably horrific acts and take up efforts to defeat Boko Haram.
  Please continue to tweet, tweet, tweet #bringbackourgirls. Please 
wear red tomorrow and every Wednesday. Tweet, tweet, tweet 
#bringbackourgirls, #joinRepWilson.
