I agree with everything the United States is doing because there is not much else they can do to help. They have sent out military, law enforcement, and intelligence specialist and the First Lady, Michelle Obama and the house speaker, John Boehner tweeted "BringBackOurGirls" to raise awareness for the missing Nigeria girls. I think it was also definitely a great idea for Nigerian police to offer a $300,000 reward because it shows that their policemen are really involved. The social media propelled this organization and how it is a double edged sword. You put pressure on the government to act, but you also give the organization validation and free publicity. The Nigeria government claims to be doing everything they can but they do not have a handle on the situation. They are not helping much at all because armed militants killed three hundred civilians and set fire to houses, and now the total number of girls missing is unclear. I think the United States is more committed to helping find and free the girls then what Nigeria is. It seems that the United States Military involvement has been ineffective and no farther actions have been planned. As of right now it is a waiting game to see what will happen.
