How far that little candle throws his beams!

So shines a good deed in a naughty world.

"When we arrived at the house... I asked the mother to come and identify someone. The moment she saw her, she shouted her name: 'Amina, Amina!' She gave her the biggest hug ever, as if they were going to roll on the ground, we had to stabilise them.

"The mother called the attention of other relations to come out and see what is happening. The girl started comforting the mother, saying: 'Please Mum, take it easy, relax. I never thought I would ever see you again, wipe your tears. God has made it possible for us to see each other again.'

It's nice to read about stabilization, when destabilizing -- at great American taxpayer expense -- seems to be the rule of the day.

Of all the military expenditures, of all the money spent on allegedly liberating people, why couldn't the U.S. military make any progress to return these girls to their homes?

Have we given up on "little missions" of mercy, in our bid to shock and awe the world at our military technology? Are we so busy worrying about who was offended at being offered swimwear at a pool party that we've forgotten about the real women at risk in our shared world?

Finally,
is "Obama... Out!" going to go down in history the same as "Mission Accomplished" amidst all the laughter with the Washington media, in a world where President Obama apparently is still worshipped despite his lack of action, beyond tweeting a hashtag?

Inquiring minds want to know...

Background:

During the April 2014 attack, Boko Haram gunmen arrived in Chibok late at night, then raided the school dormitories and loaded 276 girls on to trucks.

More than 50 managed to escape within hours, mostly by jumping off the lorries and running off into roadside bushes.

A video broadcast by CNN in April this year appeared to show some of the kidnapped schoolgirls alive.

Fifteen girls in black robes were pictured. They said they were being treated well but wanted to be with their families.

The video was allegedly shot on Christmas Day 2015 and some of the girls were identified by their parents.

The Chibok schoolgirls, many of whom are Christian, had previously not been seen since May 2014, when Boko Haram released a video of about 130 of them gathered together reciting the Koran.

The abduction led to the #BringBackOurGirls campaign, which was supported by US First Lady Michelle Obama and Pakistani activist Malala Yousafzai.
