Nigeria’s military rescued 234 more girls and women from a Boko Haram forest stronghold in the country’s northeast, according to a message posted Saturday on the official Twitter account of the Nigerian Defense Headquarters, raising the number of captives declared rescued in the past week to more than 677. It is not known how many people Boko Haram has kidnapped during its nearly six-year-old rebellion. Nigeria’s army has reported rescuing only women and girls. It is also not known yet whether any of those rescued include the girls kidnapped from a school in Chibok a year ago.
