It’s now been two months since terrorist group Boko Haram kidnapped more than 200 Nigerian school girls in the country’s unstable north.

Despite new aerial patrols from U.S. drones, no progress has been made in locating them. This past week, former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo said some of the girls may never return home. And ordinary Nigerians are accusing the Nigerian government of trying to stifle their pleas to keep the situation top of mind.

In an op-ed on Project Syndicate, former British PM Gordon Brown goes a step further,discussing the gruesome reason for why the campaign may have already been lost:
