Mexicans Increasingly Angry At President Peña Nieto Amid Disappearance Of 43 Students

David Agren, Nov. 7, 2014, Fox News Latino

Mexican President Enrique Pe̱a Nieto planned to enact new rules for the energy sector on Monday Рanother step toward opening an industry he says will spur investment and economic growth.

His time at the podium, however, tilted toward the case of 43 missing teaching school students, who authorities allege were abducted in late September in the town of Iguala in the state of Guerrero by crooked cops acting in cahoots with organized crime.

The president called for another multi-party alliance – not unlike the previous “Pacto por México,” which allowed him to get approval for 11 structural reforms in just 20 months – to curb crime and pacify a population outraged over so many students going missing and remaining unaccounted for six weeks.

Tape Of Desperate Pleas From Kidnapped Nigerian Pupils Held In Jungle --Boko Haram wants Sharia law in all Nigeria

June 03, 2014 Boko Haram , Child Sex Trafficking 0 Comments
By Barbara Jones in Abuja, Nigeria, May 31, 2014, Dailymail.co.uk

Hostage schoolgirl EXCLUSIVE: Mail on Sunday hears tape of desperate pleas from kidnapped Nigerian pupils held in jungle with one saying ‘I never expected to suffer like this so much in my life.'

A heartbreaking new video of the Nigerian schoolgirls kidnapped by Islamic extremists shows them bravely speaking out about their ordeal for the first time.

The footage, not released publicly but seen by The Mail on Sunday, was taken in a jungle clearing a month after their abduction.

More than 250 girls were taken in a raid on their school in Chibok, in Nigeria’s north-east, on April 14 by Boko Haram terrorists, who want to impose Sharia law on the country.

The girls in the video look healthy, but it is understood that fraught negotiations are under way to broker the release several pupils who have fallen ill, including one with a broken wrist.

In the video, eight girls, dressed in their home-made school uniforms of pale blue gingham, plead for release as they stand courageously in front of the camera. They are clearly scared, upset and trying to be brave.

Each of them walks in turn to a spot in front of a white sheet fixed to a crude frame between the trees.

Four of them can be heard clearly, in their Hausa language, stating that they were taken by force and that they are hungry. A tall girl, aged about 18, says tearfully: ‘My family will be so worried.’

Another, speaking softly, says: ‘I never expected to suffer like this in my life.’ A third says: ‘They have taken us away by force.’ The fourth girl complains: ‘We are not getting enough food.’

Boko Haram Kills At Least 31 Nigerian Security Personnel --World has few options without entanglement

(Reuters) - Boko Haram gunmen attacked a Nigerian military base and adjacent police barracks in the northeastern town of Buni Yadi, killing 31 security personnel, security sources and witnesses said.

 The attack late on Monday in Yobe state occurred not far from where the Islamist insurgents shot or burned to death 59 pupils at a boarding school in February.

 The militants, whose violent struggle for an Islamic state in northern Nigeria has killed thousands and made them the biggest threat to security in Africa's top oil-producing state, are still holding more than 200 girls kidnapped on April 14, an act which provoked international outrage.

 Yobe police spokesman Nansak Chegwam said he was aware of the attack but could provide no further details.

 A resident of Buni Yadi, who identified himself only as Mustafa for fear of retribution, said the militants arrived in an armored personnel carrier and six Toyota pickup trucks before dismounting and firing into the air.

 They fired rocket propelled grenades at both bases.

 A senior security source in Yobe state said 17 soldiers were killed and 14 police officers also died.

 In what has become rare for a movement that has killed thousands of civilians in the past year, Boko Harm called out to people on the street not to run away as they had only come for the security forces, Mustafa and the security source said.

 The insurgents also razed the police barracks, the army base, the high court and residence of district head Abba Hassan.

 "One was shouting in English to the others: 'Let's go, let's go. Finish this and let's go'," a policeman who escaped the attack and fled to the state capital Damturu said.
