CNN Reports

More girls have been kidnapped in Nigeria, village residents told CNN, saying that armed men in vehicles abducted eight from Warabe village, which is in the northeast of the country. The Reuters news agency is reporting the kidnappings, citing an unnamed police source and a Warabe resident.

Residents said the gunmen moved from door to door late Sunday and took the girls, who are between 12 and 15 years old. The latest abductions come amid international outcry over the April 14 kidnapping of hundreds of girls by the Islamist militant group Boko Haram. On Tuesday the United Nations human rights chief blasted Boko Haram and sent a stern warning to the terrorist organization that U.S. officials say is trained by al Qaeda affiliates. Under international law, slavery and sexual slavery are “crimes against humanity,” she said, according to a statement from Rupert Colville, the spokesman for U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay.

“The girls must be immediately returned, unharmed, to their families,” the statement urged. Since Pillay visited Nigeria this year, Boko Haram’s actions have “grown increasingly monstrous,” the statement said. A man claiming to be the group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, appeared Monday in a video announcing he would sell his victims. The video was first obtained by Agence-France Presse.

A Market For Selling Humans

“I abducted your girls. I will sell them in the market, by Allah,” he said, according to a CNN translation from the local Hausa language. “There is a market for selling humans. Allah says I should sell. He commands me to sell. I will sell women. I sell women.”

Boko Haram’s name means “Western education is sin.” In the nearly hourlong, rambling video, Shekau repeatedly called for an end to Western education.

“Girls, you should go and get married,” he said. In her statement, Pillay condemned the “violent abduction” of the girls. According to accounts, armed members of Boko Haram overpowered security guards at a school in Nigeria, yanked the girls out of bed and forced them into trucks. The convoy of trucks then disappeared into the dense forest bordering Cameroon.

Pillay has contacted Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan and urged the government to take all necessary measures to ensure that the girls are freed, her statement said. Pillay, along with three other African United Nations women leaders, sent a letter reminding the Nigerian government of its “legal responsibility to ensure that girls and boys have the fundamental right to education and to be protected from violence, persecution and intimidation,” according to her statement.

Nigeria’s finance minister said Monday that her country’s government remains committed to finding the girls, but should have done a better job explaining the situation to the public. “Have we communicated what is being done properly? The answer is no, that people did not have enough information,” Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala told CNN’s Richard Quest.

It’s difficult to release information about the search for the girls, she said, “because you are dealing with people that you don’t know, and you don’t know … what they might do to these girls.”

The kidnapping has sparked international outrage, much of it expressed on Twitter with the globally trending hashtag #BringBackOurGirls.

A Prayer For Restoration

Lamentations 5
Lord, remember what has happened to us.
See how we have been disgraced!
Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers,
Our homes to foreigners.

We are orphaned and fatherless.
Our mothers are widowed.
We have to pay for water to drink,
And even firewood is expensive.

Those who pursue us are at our heels;
We are exhausted but are given no rest.
We submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough food to survive.

Our ancestors sinned, but they have died—
And we are suffering the punishment they deserved!

Slaves have now become our masters;

There is no one left to rescue us.

We hunt for food at the risk of our lives,
For violence rules the countryside.
The famine has blackened our skin as though baked in an oven.

Our enemies rape the women in Jerusalem
And the young girls in all the towns of Judah.
Our princes are being hanged by their thumbs,
And our elders are treated with contempt.

Young men are led away to work at millstones,
And boys stagger under heavy loads of wood.
The elders no longer sit in the city gates;
The young men no longer dance and sing.

Joy Has Left Our Hearts

Our dancing has turned to mourning.
The garlands have fallen from our heads.
Weep for us because we have sinned.

Our hearts are sick and weary,
And our eyes grow dim with tears.
For Jerusalem is empty and desolate,
A place haunted by jackals.

But Lord, you remain the same forever!
Your throne continues from generation to generation.
Why do you continue to forget us?

Why have you abandoned us for so long?
Restore us, O Lord, and bring us back to you again!
Give us back the joys we once had!
Or have you utterly rejected us?
Are you angry with us still?
