According to ABC.net.au, the Nigerian Government has reportedly reached a cease fire agreement with the Islamic terror sect Boko Haram.
The agreement in part, was for the terror group to halt violent attacks and also bring back the abducted Chibok girls. Over 200 girls were abducted by the terror group , prompting a #Bring back Our Girls# protest around the world. Most Hollywood celebrities joined in on the campaign as well as the First Lady, Michelle Obama. The leader of the group was allegedly killed in the raid led by soldiers in Sept. of this year, so it is not clear who made the negotiations on behalf of the terror group. The violence perpetrated by this militant sect is perceived to be the biggest threat to Nigerian Economy.
