Western governments allegedly knew where a large group of Nigeria’s Chibok girls, kidnapped on 14 April 2014, were held. But they felt powerless to rescue them. According to Dr Andrew Pocock, former British high commissioner to Nigeria, when some of the girls were located by British and American surveillance, nothing was done. The information was passed on to the Nigerians but they made no request for help.

“A couple of months after the kidnapping, fly-bys and an American ‘Eye In The Sky’ spotted a group of up to 80 girls in a particular spot in the Sambisa forest, around a very large tree, called locally the Tree of Life, along with evidence of vehicular movement and a large encampment,” Pocock said in a Sunday Times interview.

A rescue attempt would have been too risky, said Pocock, not just for the rescuers but also the girls, who were likely to be used by the terrorists as human shields.

“A land-based attack would have been seen coming miles away and the girls killed,” he added. “An air-based rescue, such as flying in helicopters or Hercules, would have required large numbers and meant a significant risk to the rescuers and even more so to the girls.” Read the full story at IBTimes.
