While the world is focused on the US-Iranian Nuke Deal and the conflict swirling over the sands of the Middle East, Boko Haram remains all-too active in sub-Saharan Africa.

 

Many of us like-minded folks knew the lame hashtag "BringBackOurGirls" wouldn't entice the terrorists to change their ways, and release the girls they captured nearly a year ago.

 

Sadly, it appears that many of the girls have been/are being murdered as military forces advance against Boko Haram positions.

 

Nor is Boko Haram the only terrorist group unfazed by hashtags.

 

Yesterday, Al-Shabaab, an Al Qaeda affiliate, launched an attack against a Garissa University in Kenya.

(By the way:  Wikipedia considers Al-Shabaab a "militant group").
