Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Nigeria: One of the Missing Chibok Schoolgirls Returns Home

HeadlineMay 19, 2016

In Nigeria, family members say one of 219 schoolgirls abducted by Boko Haram from their dormitory in Chibok two years ago has returned home. Nineteen-year-old Amina Ali Darsha Nkeki is the first of the group to be rescued. Fifty-seven other girls managed to escape soon after the 2014 attack. Her return sparked renewed hope for the family members of other girls who are still missing. This is Nkeki Mutah.

Nkeki Mutah: “You can imagine, since this abduction, we have been here every day. Unless if I am not in Abuja, every day I’ve been here, because of the hope. And our hope now has been rekindled because of the rescue of this very one that I got the news today.”
