upload imagemUS President Barack Obama has said that he wakes up thinking of the Nigerian schoolgirls abducted by Islamist extremists and facing a life as sex slaves, and wishes he “could reach out and save those kids.”
US intelligent agencies are already in Nigeria for rescue operation in Borno state North-east Nigeria.
Speaking at Los Angeles fund-raiser on Wednesday, Obama said: “We only need to look at today’s headlines, the devastation of Syria, the murders and kidnappings in Nigeria, sectarian conflict, the tribal conflicts, to see that we have not yet extinguished man’s darkest impulses,” Obama said at a Los Angeles fund-raiser late Wednesday.
“I have this remarkable title right now president of the United States,” Obama said. “And yet every day when I wake up, and I think about young girls in Nigeria or children caught up in the conflict in Syria ... there are times in which I want to reach out and save those kids.”
Obama, speaking at an event for the Steven Spielberg-backed USC Shoah Foundation, was frustrated over the lack of a quick fix.
“Having to think through what levers, what power do we have at any given moment, I think, drop by drop by drop, that we can erode and wear down these forces that are so destructive, that we can tell a different story,” he said.
