According to reports out of Nigeria, the government has restarted talks with the Boko Haram Islamist terrorist group. News of a possible ceasefire was revealed in an emailed statement to Reuters by the Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed.
The news follows the release of the remaining Chibook schoolgirls kidnapped just days earlier. The girls, 276 of them were kidnapped four years ago. In a surprise move, Boko Haram operatives drove into town and returned the remaining girls.
According to Mohamed, a week-long ceasefire, starting on March 19, had been agreed to enable the group to drop off the girls, and then talks would resume rather than the government granting amnesty to the militants, which had been proposed in some circles.
