Hillary Clinton today called the kidnapping of more than 250 school girls in Nigeria “abominable”, “criminal” and “an act of terrorism.”
The government of Nigeria has been “somewhat derelict in its responsibility” to protect children, she said in a conversation with ABC’s Robin Roberts. “They need to make it a priority.”
The former secretary of state added, “The Nigerian government must accept help.” ( ?)
“It’s horrible," she said.
Clinton’s comments came as global uproar continues to mount over the fate of the hundreds of Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram in mid-April, and just one day after UNICEF confirmed the abduction of 8 more girls.
The White House announced it is sending a team to Nigeria to aid the effort to find the girls and those responsible.
