UN official urges unity against Nigeria's Boko Haram

(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) UN Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown said Thursday the world must unite to condemn Boko Haram's new barbaric low with their evil use of young girls as suicide bombers to carry out their murderous attacks. "In contravention of international law, children are now being fired on indiscriminately as easy targets by Boko Haram, exploited as slaves and sex objects and deployed as suicide bombers," Brown said.

"As we approach the first anniversary of the kidnapping of more than 200 Nigerian girls from their Chibok school, we must resolve to do more against Boko Haram and ensure that the children are better protected by supporting President Goodluck Jonathan's safe school initiative," he added.
