Was the Bring Back Our Girls Campaign Used for Regime Change?
A commentator argues that the Bring Back Our Girls campaign received unusually strong international attention during former President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, while recent reports of a mass abduction involving about 600 people and 15 corps members have drawn far less public outrage. The post alleges that the campaign was used to portray Jonathan as weak after he resisted a proposed United States military base, criticised restrictions on arms sales, and ended a US-linked military training programme. It also claims that private military contractors later helped Nigerian forces retake territory from Boko Haram. These claims are presented as the author’s interpretation of events and raise questions about foreign influence, media attention, and Nigeria’s response to mass kidnappings.
